Icing, heel lifts, and gel insoles has helped me as well as stretching and training my calves. Working my calves actually relieves a lot of pressure from it. And wearing open back shoes.
great explanation advice. had these on both heels since childhood!! no treatment ever or diagnosis name. I have bone growth now view painful . cannot walk barefoot without pain or in flat shoes. wear birkenstock which have eased pain. but left leg needs splint at night.
Thank you, there are many useful information in a short video. I'm affected by Haglund deformity, and really hope that physical terapy will be useful to avoid surgery.
Great video , very informative ,I'm a professional footballer and this video I think has finally accurately diagnosed my injury ,, I would very much like to avoid surgery ,, and i will try all the steps that were recommended ,, I'd like to know ,, and there any other treatment options to resolve this deformity ,? Maybe different kinds of anti-inflammatory remedies combined with targeted therapy ??? Please let me know ,, again Thank you for the information
I have had one for over 35 years perhaps even longer it was not until 1981 I started having pain aged 22. Now my feet role outward and I have high arches, played pro soccer, we tended to squeeze our feet into a boots (not cleats for you Yanks). Anyway, I am here to tell you and anyone who reads this I just discovered Tuli's heel cup. OMG God I never thought it was possible to walk without pain and i like to walk, trek, travel involving walking and walk daily sometimes 3-5 miles this cup just 2 days ago has revolutionised my heel. Almost instantly no pressure, no pain, and no discomfort. I suggest you check them out and for $20 invest in one. I am over 175lb by a ways and I used the orange coloured
Hi Basa 1959.....really think about getting FootScientific's Type 3 orthotic for the cavavarus (high arched) foot...it works miracles for athletes on neutralizing the high arched foot - for injury prevention (including ankle rolling) and for performance....you will have a better pivot and be able to engage your large muscle groups from the ground up. It is a more long term correctional solution. The surgeons who have spent their lives studying cavovarus here in the U.S. immediately recognize how the shape of this orthotic makes all the difference and they order a ton of these. Patients have avoided surgery because of this orthotic. All the best.
I have this and it's far more prominent on one side than the other. The thing is that it causes me no pain whatsoever and I can't even figure out what's causing it because I first developed it in October of 2017 or so and for the entire summer and fall I was wearing flip flops which is what I always do. The only thing I can think of is my rock climbing shoes, but I only wore those once every week or 2 and felt no pain while wearing them either.
Really great video, however 3-6 months of conservative treatment prior to surgery seems like a gross underestimate of how much time may be required to rehabilitate this injury. Often tendon based injuries can take 12-18 months to recover if you have been following a individualized program with a Physical Therapist and Physician team. Also, another option that is growing in popularity is prolotherapy injections and PRP injections. I would consider these options prior to surgery.
I had the surgery on Feb12, 2021 after trying all other non surgical options. I am in a walking boot and likely will be for several more weeks. My hope is by Summer of 2021 I will be well on my way to a full recovery. Any advise?
@@Irelandrbi my colleague says it’s forming on my other side as well ;( have you looked into tenex? And did you ever figure out how you’re walking or running that is causing it?
@@MAPSMAPS1234 My early years I was a competitive Triathlete. Years of hard pounding likely took its toll. X-rays showed severe bone spurs on both my heels. My right one now hurts most all of the time. Surgery date set fro December 1.
Boy, i really hate when doctors suggest an anti-inflammatory topical ointment but don't give you the product name of what they recommend! How are we supposed to help ourselves!
I had surgery to remove part of the heel Haglund's Deformity in March, and while healing in a ill fitted boot, ended up with a fracture. Although the fracture has healed, it is now October and I am still having general pain in the area with sharp pains periodically throughout day and night. The ability to wear regular back shoes is gone and so is a lot of walking. It is taking so long to heal, I sometimes wonder if I could be experience further complications. The pain is so intense I wonder if my bone is dying. is this possible? What should be my next step. I am 72 years old
I'm pretty sure I have this, but it doesn't really hurt there on the bump (only dull), I have a sharp pain up my calf and around my whole ankle only when I start practice and basketball games, but it subsides maybe an hour or two after. I haven't gone to the doctor yet, but I was thinking it could be that, or a stress fracture since my basketball games and practice has gotten way harder and now everyday of the week. I wear good basketball shoes with good support in them, and I also have heel cups. The heel cups don't work at all to be honest. Before my game about 4 days ago, I tried to wrap my ankle, with no luck, so I asked the athletic trainer to wrap it for me, and that helped a lot. What do you think it is?
There are many components to curing for plantar foot. One place I found which succeeds in merging these is the Natural Foot Wizard (google it if you're interested) without a doubt the no.1 remedy that I've heard of.look at all the extraordinary info .
My father is a diabetic. And his diabetes is almost 20 years old. He has haglunds deformity. Should he consider surgery to as it causes him tons of pain aand he can't even walk a few steps due to it??
with this specific disorder, if tendonitis develops, HOW is it possible that anything other than surgery can resolve it? What causes the tendonitis or the tendons eventual rupture is that your bone is deformed into a sharp point thats slowly ripping thru your achilies. Tendons are VERY strong, but every single time that sharp haglunds point scrapes your achilles with every single step, you are that much closer to destroying the tendon. I have this from work boots. age 23. Should I try and get the surgery BEFORE I develop any pain or tendon issues? I don't see how physical therapy could help this anymore than PT could help you if you had a nail sticking out the back of your heel which was causing achillie pain; the result seems to be the same; scraping until eventual rupture of the achilles.
Doctor, Doctor, I have this on both feet. My doctor told me that I need a surgery and I suffer from them very much if I do this operation. How long is it for a full recovery and a return to football? Thank you very much.
No, high heel shoes reduces the Achilles tendon length...so it relaxes it...feels so good (and the bump almost disappears) ...versus flat foot walking...where the back tendon (under pain at the hump bump heel) is being stretched out more.
I have this I feel like my life is over with the pain and unable to walk for years. From being very active to being a cripple and putting on over 50pounds is must depressing.
Could you tell me more? I had this problem for about 6 years, I’ll be getting a surgery, could you tell me about healing, surgery time, did they operate both legs at the same time?
Here's what I don't understand about this condition. I self diagnosed correctly and did whatever I could on my own for two months prior to going to see a doctor and was then put through numerous and lengthy therapies and treatments to treat the Achilles tendonitis as a matter of proper routine before considering surgery--I was very compliant and appreciative, but what no one seemed to be able to answer was this question: If I have a material buildup that is responsible for the tendonitis, how is it that this same problem won't simply recur over and over and over again--as it has, unless I give up even the simplest of activities including, just plain walking? I'm convinced the clinic, which I know to have a good reputation as regards the usual neuroma and bunions and even reconstructive surgery etc., is averse to Heglund's surgery. Anyway, my life with this problem has deteriorated to the point where as may as well get a little scooter I can sit on and continue to blow up.
William Farber I had surgery for Haglund’s deformity in 1999. I have had no problem with it coming back. I now have a bump on my other heel. I’m having surgery on it in two days. The surgery made such a difference in my life although the recovery takes a while.
Exactly . that's the hard part. Ice, and massage seems to just make it worse for me. Including stretching exercises you see all over the place. THose really make it worse. I think we are just not meant to wear shoes, and it's that simple. Shoes are causing something unnatural to occur with our physiology.
my doctor tried several things on my first heal (i have it severely on both) and the home treatment failed so i had surgery and now i have to get it done on my other heal which hes skipping home treatment for and going straight to surgery due to the fact i can hardly walk and my heal has turned black and blue
