I take a calcium channel blocker to control moderate high blood pressure. Its action prevents calcium from being absorbed into the heart and muscles.

I've heard that heel spurs may be caused from a lack of calcium, and that the body may leach what it needs from the bones, with the heel being a favorite place.

Its easy to try to make a connection. Does anyone else have a similar experience? Most of the comments I've read don't indicate
anything like this. I was encouraged that I might have found an answer until I found the web site and read a few other comments!
