Have Capsulitis, Pressure Sensation, Torn Labrum And Bone Spurs. On Calcium And Vitamin Supplements. Is It Related?

Hey Doc, i m in college and I was using nike free run shoes and putting a lot of load on my feet doing plyometrics, lots of calf raises, sprinting etc. I believe I have capsulitis. What I think mainly caused this was the plyometrics and doing barefoot tippy-toesing while walking on hard faces. The issue has been going on for 3-4 weeks now. It started really mild and I guess the repetitive stress I continue to put on it makes it almost impossible to walk on hard surfaces. This is really affecting my gait and causing heel pain due to putting more pressure on other parts of the foot. I recently bought some new powerstep orthotics along with some new saucany shoes. Where can I get a custom orthotic made for me?? I m spending a lot of money on this condition to decrease inflammation starting with nutrition, herbs, and supplements. I don t know if i m using the right ones but here s a list i m using (Calcium, Vitamin D3, Cellfood, Tumeric, Ginger, Bilberry extract, Bitter melon extract, Glucosamine Sulfate, Ubiquinol CoQ-10, Tri-Iodine, and Lycopene) I m in college and have to constantly move around from class to class now and even that hurts. I hope to be able play basketball again but i m pretty down about this condition. All I do is stay inside the house now while my friends go out please give me advice thanks. (PS I had surgery on my right hip due to a torn labrum and bone spurs last year basketball injury) I ve worked hard and recovered from that pretty well and this is really getting to me and I m usually a positive person. Thanks

Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
hi ,
i have read your problem .. first you should know that your health is more important than your game/sports so i will tell you the method of treatment you should follow..
1 you have to keep yourself way from sport activities for about 6 months
2 you may have stress fractures at small bones of foot . so you should get digital xray of foot AP and Lateral view and send reporting to me or discusswith your doctor.
3 you should wear only sport shoes .
4 without implementing above mentioned things no medicine can help you..
5 discuss all with your family doctor for medicines , never took them in your own way..you dont need glucosamine etc...
6 apply hot packs to foot 30 mins in morning and evening
7 previous surgery was succesfull and forget about all that ..
be positive in life.
YOUR LIFE IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN GAMES / SPORTS ..
