Hi

I'm back again. I forgot to ask if anyone suffers with heel pain which comes on with the back pain and is extremely painful to walk on as the days go on?

Its something new and has got the docs scratching there heads and sending me for another MRI but just wondered if anyone else had this problem or is it just me after all my operations !!

Thanks

Problems In The L2/l3 Areas Can Cause Pain In The Heel

I have heel pain or to the side of my ankle........ER doc said it was not bone, something to do with the nerves in the ankle......Mine comes and goes.......when it comes on though I can not put weight on my foot.....may last an hour , may last all day ......???????? L2 / L3 huh? I figured when it bothers me all the time someone will take notice....my docs also scratch their heads.....my lumbar MRI just shows some early degeneration no bulging....

Glad to see someone else has a mystery........

Sounds like a form of sciatica.

You CAN FIND PICS ON THE NET OF SPINE CHARTS THAT CAN TELL YOU WHAT IS EFFECTED BY THE DIFFERENT LEVELS, HEEL PAIN CAN COME FROM S-2 AND S-1 ALSO
