I finally went to see an Orthopedic Surgeon today and I was able to get a proper diagnosis as to what I have. Contrary to what the radiologists reading of the x-ray I had done a couple weeks ago, I actually have a bone spur on my right heel that appears to have actually fractured. I also have bone spur on my left heel.

The doctor gave me a few options that include:

• Cortisone shot
• Physical Therapy
• Surgery

I didn’t have the cortisone shot right away, but I plan to go and get it done on Thursday.

Even though I have bone spur, I am actually very relieved. After all this time of just guessing what was wrong, I have a proper diagnose and can actually purse a proper course of action.

With the cortisone shot I should be able to resume running. This actually has me quite excited!!

EDIT: I forgot to add, he also suggested Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy, but mentioned it was very expensive and insurance companies wouldn’t pay for it as it’s considered experimental.
