How do you cure Achilles's heel injury?
get surgery...
Could your heel pain be a side effect of your lower back surgery?
This is very less likely. You have the heel pain due to same pathology, which caused you to have lower back surgery.
What may cause someone to have a heel spur surgery?
Heel spurs are calcium deposits on the underside of the heel bone. Heel spurs are usually caused by strains on foot muscles and ligaments over the course of time. Surgery may be necessary if the pain makes regular activity almost impossible.
How long after heel spur surgery will it take to heal?
5 weeks
Why would someone have to have a heel spur treatment?
A heel spur, the extra buildup of bone on the heel, can be very painful. There are many different treatments, including shock wave therapy, taping the arch, and surgery.
What is the prognosis for heel spurs?
Usually, heel spurs are curable with conservative treatment. If not, heel spurs are curable with surgery. About 10% of those that continue to see a physician for plantar fascitis have it for more than a year
What is a heel spur and how does it affect you?
Heel spurs are calcium build-ups in the heel that cause a small knot or ball of bone. They collect in the muscle tissue of the heel and can cause extreme pain. While surgery is an option in severe cases, most doctors recommend pain medication and rest as well as different shoes. The duration of the heel spur is different for every case.
What is an Achilles tear and how do I treat it?
An Achilles tear, or more commonly know as a rupture, is when the tendon connecting your calf to your heel tears or ruptures. This can be a full tear which may require surgery, or a minor tear that can be treated nonsurgical.

Is surgery the only option to permanently relieve heel pain?
There are other options for relieving heel pain. If the pain is caused by bruising, it may heal naturally on its own, or if it is caused by plantar fasciitis it could be cured by stretching and rest.
How can you fix your knocked knees without surgery?
No, not truly fix. You can relieve the stress on the knees that leads to pain with heel wedges and shoe inserts.
Common Heel Pain Treatment Techniques?
There are several types of heel pain treatment available depending on the cause and severity of the pain. Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common reasons for heel pain. This is pain that is caused by inflammation in the tendons along the plantar fascia, sometimes caused by an imbalance of weight on the foot, or sometimes by a calcification on the heel called a bone spur. Since this can be a mechanical source of pain, often the treatment involves using specially designed shoes or insoles that force the foot into alignment to relieve the improperly placed pressure that causes the inflammation. Alternately, pain medication might be prescribed if the condition is a result of a minor fracture, along with a cast or brace. A heel spur, which sometimes accompanies plantar fasciitis, is a small bone growth called a calcification on the heel that causes pain by protruding into the nerves. Sometimes this pain can be relieved with insoles, but in cases where the calcification has grown to a significant size, surgery might be the only heel pain treatment available. The surgery involves using a tool to either grind the spur down, or a type of surgical clamp to actually break the spur off of the heel. Posterior heel pain is a situation where the pain is located along the back of the heel. This can result from inflammation of the Achilles tendon behind the foot, a bone spur, or a condition called tarsal tunnel syndrome. Tarsal tunnel syndrome occurs when bones in the foot compress the posterior tibial nerve, causing pain. Different heel pain treatment is available for posterior heel pain, including rest, pain reliving medication, or in the case of tarsal tunnel syndrome, possibly a type of surgery called a tarsal tunnel release, where the posterior tibial nerve is maneuvered to a location with less pressure. There are some general types of heel pain treatment that can be applied across many situations. Cortisone injections at the location of the pain can reduce inflammation and provide some relief, although this is often temporary. Rest is frequently prescribed since a fairly minor problem causing heel pain could be exacerbated with strenuous use. Finally, daily exercise or physical therapy can help to reduce inflammation and teach the body to move in a way that prevents future problems.
