Hi doctor, I am having severe heel pain and cannot walk bare foot. I need to use ortho slippers to walk. I don?t have uric acid and I am not diabetic. I have taken vitamin d, other syrups, d rise & b complex injections for several month but no use as such. Doctor said it is not gout as such. I fail to understand what is it actually? How can I become normal and start doing jogging & brisk walking with shoes.
