I am +65. I ha having heel pain in my left foot for last about 9 months. I had got x-ray of my left foot about 4-5 months back which mentioned dorsal & plantar calceneal seen in my left foot, ankle joint normal (the same position of spurs was indicated in previous x-ray made about 2 years back when my foot slipped on the floor after taking a bath) but no fracture. Although it is bearable but due to this pain in the back of heel and pressure on heel in the left foot, I am not able to walk fast and not freely as right foot. I have for taken homeopathic medicine calcarea flourica 6x (4 tablets every day for about months and calcarea flourica6x + silicea 12x (4tablets each every day) and also put my left in hot water up to more than ankle deep for last three months for about 40/30 minutes in the night before sleeping but till date no change in the heel pain or on the pressure felt by left foot while walking. Being a retired person I take walks in the park to get some sleep in the night. Please advise.
