What Causes Pain And Burning Sensation In Right Foot Heal?

A couple of years ago I had tarsal tunnel surgery on my left foot. Left foot is doing fine ever since. For the past 12-14 weeks I have been experiencing burning, stabbing pain in my right heel but not the bottom of my foot. The pain gets worse as the day go on. When I get up in the morning its not bad but by the end of my work day the pain in 8-10 and I have to get off of it. Heel spur, PF or tarsal again?

Hi,Thanks for your query. After going through your query I came to know that you suffered tarsal tunnel left foot. you got surgery for it with successful result . Now you have pain right heel but not bottom of foot .Pain is not in morning but till the end of day it is worst. It is unlikely to be planter fasciatis as pain is not in morning. So it may again be tarsal tunnel syndrome as it increases in end of day due to increase in swelling.You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. I do hope that you have found something helpful. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care.
