Hi lybrate-user One of the causes of the calcaneal spur can be lack of vit D (due to menopausal age) and over pressure of heels (standing while cooking). So get he Vit D checked and in the mean time get some silicon base heel cushions available in market (vissco, tynor, flamingo are the company names). At home contrast bath ie, hot and cold water deeping (1 min of hot followed by 20 secs of cold for 5-6 times) will give pain relief, but for permanent cure Do physiotherapy with some elctrotherapy and exercises along with Vit D supplementation, that will definately help.
