Pain stemming from the bottom of your heel? A couple of different conditions could be to blame for discomfort that is focused on the underside of your foot. Heel pain can be persistent, severe, and debilitating. Don't let it interfere with your day to day activities or keep you from getting exercise. Have your feet checked out to see if heel surgery could benefit you.
Common Causes
Two of the most common conditions that lead to heel pain are plantar fasciitis, the inflammation of the ligament in the bottom of the foot that extends from the heel bone to the toes; and heel spurs, often the result of stress on the muscles and fascia that pull against the heel bone. Either one could develop into a situation that may need surgical intervention
