Subject: Heel Pain - Plantar Fasciitis or Something Else? Looking for insights from fellow heel pain sufferers.... I have suffered through plantar fasciitis before, but this time the pain I am feeling is a bit different... the last time, the heel pain I experienced was on the bottom of the heel, right in the center of the heel. This time, the pain is still on the bottom of the heel, but it is spread around the outer side edges of the heel. Note - I was pain free throughtout the winter while running predominantly on a treadmill, and it wasn't until I started running 100% outside did the pain start. Concurrently, I also noticed my Asics Gel Kayanos were wearing down and I replaced them with Minuzo Wave Riders (purchased at a 'real' running shoe store where my stride was examined, etc. ) which have a unique heel strike area - you guessed it - the heel area strikes the ground only on the outer edges of the heel. I do plan on going to see an MD, but am interested in anyone's insight on this one. Thanks, |
