...at my xrays.
I ended up in the ER Christmas Day and found out I had a heel spur on the LEFT foot. Popped into a local podiatrist in my family group practice a few days later and yep, big heel spur.
Painful cortisone shot and all is well.....right?
Until a month ago when I started doing that hardcore workout Les Mills Bodypump twice a week and 45 minutes on the elliptical twice a week.....then the RIGHT foot started acting up. Figured I'd either overextended my Achilles during the back/hamstring track with the lunges or had a heel spur on the RIGHT. I iced and braced it for 5 days and it got better, but it just wouldn't 100% go away.
So in I go to the podiatrist today to get monitoring xrays on the left and find out what's wrong with the right......
Heel spurs. Back AND bottom of BOTH feet. The xrays look almost identical except the one on the bottom of my right foot has TEETH. TEETH!!! DEAR GOD IT HAS TEETH!!!!
My podiatrist flipped back and forth and laughed. He wasn't being mean, I just think he wasn't sure how a patient could manage to do this. LOL
Then gave me a PAINFUL cortisone shot.
:\
Good news is the left one is doing great and he's surprised I don't have any symptoms (only rarely does it even bother me) and the spur on the bottom of the left foot hasn't gotten any bigger.
