Posted on Sat, 8 Jul 2017
Question: I was tld that i probably have plantars fasciitis by a Dr that didn't even do an exam. Is it normal to feel bone spurs or splintered rock like substances in my heel? I do all the stretches and wear the boot at night but the pain won't go away. Could it be something else?
