Guest mal89 Posted August 31, 2004 Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 Lately my left foot has started hurting when I walk, when I start bringing my heel up from the floor.. (I can only feel this sometimes). It also hurts when I press my finger on the inside of the foot, where the bone in the heel starts, right beside the tendon. It doesn't hurt when I do pointe work or point my foot. Am I starting to develop achilles tendonitis? Quote Link to comment
Administrators Victoria Leigh Posted August 31, 2004 Administrators Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 No, mal, I don't think so. It doesn't sound like the achilles. It sounds like the calcaneus (heel), like maybe bruised, or, it more likely is a bit of bursitis. Ice it, and change the street shoes you are wearing and see if that makes a difference. This is quite likely caused by shoes, but you will have to experiment to find out which ones. It could be too tight pointe shoes, or certain street shoes. Quote Link to comment
