I have been having a heel problem for couple of months now and it is
just not healing. It started out after the toe infection when a slipper made
my heel dry and it cracked and now this. I have to go to a surgeon Mon.
and I am so scared. I'd like to go back to work. I feel good if I could
have this heel heal. My toe still has a place on it also where the nail came off.
It is not so sore but still needs to clear up. Thanks.

O.B. Did they rule out a bone spur? That is what i had and it was right where my heel had cracked. It took about a month for it to stop hurting, it is still there, i feel a slight pain, just not like it was, hubby went to his doctor for his and the doc prescribed some antibiotics and some foot exercises for him. Needless to say i healed alot faster than he did without medication, go figure huh  Hope you get better soon, sending well wishes your way  |

Thanks for your thoughts and prayers.
No it is not a spur.
Being a diabetic and on dialysis causes things to heal slowly.
I have an antibiotic cream I put on it twice a day but it does not seem to
be improving. I just feel so scared.

Thinking of you in strength and calm for your impending appointment. Hope you are able to think positive thoughts instead of worrying, Stress can make your body weaker, concentrate on some hobby or book to help keep your mind from straying. Best of luck. Anja  |

hi all Went to surgeon today and he "worked" on my heel. Boy did the numbing shot hurt when heel is so sore. Had to hang on tight. Numbness has worn off now.  Have a special surgical bandages to wear on it and wrapped in gauze. I pray to God that this brings healing. Have to go back to see him next week. Thanks for all your prayers and thoughts and please keep them going. |

It started right after I had the toe infection.
I wore this slipper around with the toe cut out and it dried out my heel and
my heell cracked. The first dr. said it was a fungus from all the antibiotics and shots
I had to have for the toe infection and prescribed an antibiotic cream.
Then it got worse and would not heal and got larger and red, etc. and the dr.
then referred me to a surgeon. This special surgical bandages is supposed to draw
infection, etc. out of it and after the culture comes back he will know what kind of
antibiotic to prescribe. It is very sore. I'm wearing a shoe with no heel to rub it.
Said not to put any more cream on it right now. Today he trimmed it around the
edges, etc. I didn't know he was going to do all that and I drove. Anyway,
I just need it to heal like NOW!

Have to go back to dr. again Thurs.
Keep praying for my heel.
Sure hope he doesn't have to "work" on it again.
It is still painful.
