    anti inflammatories ( voltaran) tablets and extra padding under the heel and you have my sympathies i know how it feels
    Anything Ian says may or may not be garbage, it may also be his own opinion or it may not be his opinion at all, it may just be something he felt like stating anyone following his advice does so at their own risk and may be doing something Ian would actually advise against.
    And if you don't like what Ian has to say use the ignore function if you don't know how ask i will gladly tell you

    Buy a packet of Homebrand frozen peas, when you get home and watch tv or surf the net put your foot on the frozen peas. Only do this for about 5 minutes, it will bring the swelling down.

    This is a old method which works most of the time.

    Get a empty wine bottle and lay it flat on the floor,rest heal into it and roll over bottle forwards and backwards.It may take a while.
    It’s a gentle way of snapping off the spur and it will give you relief.If successful and it comes back in a month or so just do the same thing again.

    If this does fail the quickest relief is using voltaren suppository,they have a pill which you push up into your rectum.Bullit shaped.

    If you are in bad pain this is the most effective way of dealing with pain compared to swallowing a tablet,as it does a better and faster job.
    Panadol make one too.

    Hi
    A old time treatment for heel spurs.
    2 tbsp apple cider vinegar + 1 tsp baking soda in a little juice. Drink twice a day. Should feel results in a couple of weeks. I have a friend who used this method & it worked for her.
    Cheers

    2 bottles of Capn Morgan per day. Does bugger all for the spur but I guarantee you wont feel a thing. My brother in law gets them. He has them cut out.

    a teaspon of fossil shell flour daily with a glass of juice or V8 or whatever your preference. Cleaned up a few spurs I had including one in the wrist. Also is a natural means of wiping out parasites in the body such as intestinal worms etc
