Heel Spur Treatment

Recently, I had an X ray of my heels taken for a painful condition. It showed a spur and also arthritic changes in the ankle joint. I have been advised to take ultrasound treatment for the Plantar Fascitis. Both the doctor and physiotherapist feel that I should take up swimming as a form of exercise to lose weight and ease the stress off the joint. But my problem is that I am a walking enthusiast and I hate getting wet. Moreover, there is no well-maintained pool in my immediate vicinity. I am also concerned about hygiene issues in over-crowded pools and the ill-effects of hyperchlorinated pool water. I do not want to end up with a new set of problems while trying to avoid the present ones.
I can comply with this advice for a while but ask me to give up walking altogether, and I might as well die. I feel miserable and discouraged.

Is there any other form of exercise that will help me burn fat effectivelyand at the same time not aggravate my heel and joints ?

Hi. I beg you to read the whole text!

I am a 19, soon 20 year old male and I work in the armed forces.

My job requires me to stand for prolonged periods, walk and run a lot and I love my job, but I can’t take the pain much longer!

Describing the pain is hard for me. It is sort of a burning sensation, but the best way to explain it is if I tell you that it feels like the blood is being cut off to my feet!

The pain is all around the feet.. The heel, the pads and everywhere, sometimes up to the toes too, when I walk for long distances.
The pain is only in the feet. Not anywhere else and there is no other sort of pain following it.
This has been a problem for at least 2-3 years (Maybe longer, since I only really noticed it now. Haven’t worked standing and walking so long ever). It is not just ”getting used to standing” as I have been in the armed forces now for 6 months.

I have experienced what Plantar Fasciitis patients experiment, where they feel pain in the morning, but I rarely get that.

I’ve been thinking if it is Plantar Fasciitis (Heel spur) or Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome. I’m quite sure now that it is not Plantar Fasciitis, as I’ve been treated with Shock wave Therapy at 4 bar, around 3500 hits. I barely feel any pain but in small areas, and it is supposed to be painful. Also the treatment has not helped at all (had it done twice).

I don’t understand the symptoms of Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome, as they supposedly vary from patient to patient..So I am not sure whether it could be that..

No doctor seems to fully understand what my condition is, which leads me to believe this is some exotic syndrome of some sort.

If I stand for about 20 minutes, it starts getting slightly painful and gradually builds. After a short and easy work day (A short and easy work day is a 8 hour day with little or no physical activities, but much standing) my feet will be hurting a lot.

Please, if you can.. Help me!
