heel pain

I have been having heel pain now for almost 1 1/2 years on the right foot. The majority of the extreme pain is directly behind the heel and mild to sometimes moderate on the sides of my heel and mostly moderate to extreme directly underneath my heel. The pain is mostly when I walk or sit to long and get up to walk, or when I first get out of bed the pain is pretty extreme. Then goes away for a little while then comes back for the rest of the day, standing in one place for any length of time is extremely painful. As well as going up or down stairs. I have noticed in the last month or so that when I do walk because of the pain that I am walking on the right side of my foot, I am unable to walk normally. The pain is like a dull ache/burning sensation extremely uncomfortable.

Hi,

I think after 18 months of pain it may be time to seek professional care as it is clear this problem is not going away on its own and is probably making your life miserable.
Based on the information you have provided it sounds like you may have a heel spur/plantarfasciitis along with a heel neuroma which is why the pain is all over the heel and hurts the more you are on it.
Read my sections on those conditions and make an appointment with a podiatrist who will be able to administer treatment,
