Suggest Treatment For Pain And Swelling On The Back Of Heel And Foot

I have swelling on the back of my heel, not the bottom of my foot. It is very painful when I walk. The pain does not go up the back of my leg as an Achilles injury can. But what I read about the Achilles, it could be that kind of injury...or could it be a bone spur back there? What kind of doctor should I see? Alicia Peterson

dear Alicia
it depends on many factors but if you are eating foods rich in purines ... then it is possibly calceneal spur..
an orthopedist is OK to see you after having ESR and uric acid tests.
plain xray ap and lateral views of foot ..
