Hi everyone, I have been trying desparately to find someone else who has had this done. I have been suffering with leg pain for over a year and my PM says its from the bursa in the heel. I've had several injections, the first one helped. My problem is the dr. keeps asking me if I have pain on the back of my heel but I don't. My pain location is hard to explain. Its in the muscle/tendon whatever that goes up the left (left leg) backside of my leg. It starts near the ankle and just goes straight up. Its hard to go down steps.

I'm currently wearing a camwalker and I think Im going to try PT even though I've been doing non load bearing stretches on my own.

PLEASE help me figure this out.

thanks,

Cathy:confused:

HI,
I would go for a second opinion, maybe an ortho or sports med doctor.
