    You are kinda missing the mark. Much of the advice was sound.

    If heel spurs are indeed what you have.... The cause is do to the achilles tendon pulling on the bone of the calcanous( heel (SP?)) the bone tries to compensate by a spur. A growth towards the tension. So bare with me a large part of the healing process is going to be stretching. I will take lots of time and effort. I would recommended (Very Strongly) to go see a Dr to get films shot to confirm diagnosis the request a refer to physical therapy consult. The poor mans version is to research and cross your fingers your diagnosis is correct. Afterall we live it the information age.

    Im just going to take it easy for a while. I changed all of my shoes and maybe I aggrevated it the other day because it is starting to feel better. It still hurts, but the pain is subsiding. I DO stretch before, during and after training AND while Im at work. We'll see what happens....

    http://orthopedics.about.com/cs/gene...heelspur_2.htm Should explain things. I recently ruptured my plantar flascia while running. Yes I have heel spurs too. If you are stretching then you may be doing them incorrect or are not targeting what you need to stretch.

    take a coke bottle, fill it with water and freeze it. Place it on the floor and roll it under your foot. I feels good, massages it, and cryotherapy is great on reducing inflamation.

    That's so funny. I was doing that with a bottle of kettle one at work yesterday and it did feel pretty good. The only problem is that I got a little thirsty and took a drink, jk, lol!
