What Causes Pain At The Back Of Heel?
I am experiencing pain on the back of my heel bone. I am a runner and when I run I feel pain on the back of my heel bone. I do not feel pain on the bottom of my foot or in my Achilles tendon as many of the runners report. My heel is tender to touch on both feet (the back part of my bone). I have ran in many different types of shoes thinking the shoe might be causing the pain but it does not seem to matter what shoes I wear I still have discomfort when I run and as I continue to run the pain seems to be getting worse.

Dr. Hanif warmly Welcomes you!
Thanks for consulting me at virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and I can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I assure you not to worry as I will take care all of your medical concerns.
Without any doubt, my expert opinion is, its your shoes, causing problem. You need joggers like diabetic pateines are recommended. What's difference in them?
Yes they are more spacious on the front, specially made to comfort the pressure points. Heel end is so beautifully designed that you will feel a push from behind when running.
You may buy these shoes from some prosthetics and Orthotics Store e.g; Harry J. Lawall Prosthetics and orthotics store open
in different states.
Right now apply Bengay ultra stretch gel on both heels. Take by mouth tablet IBUPROFEN800MG twice daily.
If you need further, detailed and quick assistance related to any health issues, feel free to 'ask me a question' directly from my profile. You can also attach Lab reports and pictures with direct question.
Have a wonderful time ahead. Please don't forget to give your valuable feedback and five star rating, to help me assist you always in a better way. Click at 'Thanks' & 'I Find This Answer Helpful' too. Please, write a review on my profile, about your experience with me.
