Infrequent stabbing pain in my heel
by Carmela Cugini
Recently I have begun to experience a very sharp stabbing pain in the bottom of my right heel. It began a few months ago and does not bother me all the time. I could be walking and suddenly feel the pain (it is like knife stabbing my heel). It literally takes my breath away at times. Any ideas? Hi Carmela, My first thought would be either a heel neuroma or a heel bursitis, both of which could cause that type of pain, but not all the time. If you are noticing an increase in the pain or an increase in the incidence of pain, it is time to see a foot specialist. Marc Mitnick DPM
