My left heel is swollen and it hurts to put weight on it. Keeping it elevated for a while makes it feel better for a bit.
At first I thought it was because I had been walking too much (I'm a freshman on a very spread-out college campus), but this just started last week and I've been here since August.
I've tried switching shoes, but it still doesn't help. Even running shoes don't help. I have noticed that going barefoot hurts less. (I should add that my shoes do fit correctly).
It's the bottom of my heel. There's no redness, no chaffing, no odd bumps. It's just swollen.
Any ideas what it is? Help!
*Thanks!*
I should add that this is a really bad pain. As in I have trouble making it to class.
