Re: it's a spur, dammit - me too - but there is hope!

Don't despair... I too have confirmed spurs on both heel bones and had severe PF for about 4 yrs. Birks worn 100% of the time along with being careful did the trick for me. My pain is gone. I am as back to normal as anyone with PF can be. If I stand 8+ hrs on my concrete floor at work my feet hurt - but in a day or 2 if I am reasonable and keep wearing the birks I'm o.k. again. In other words, I can no longer abuse my feet the way I did 10 yrs. ago and expect to just be as good as new the next day, but I don't wake up to pain, I don't limp and I can go for walks, do shopping, hiking and fun stuff again. So there is hope even with spurs. The spurs do not cause the pain I am told, instead they are a body reaction to the inflammation in the PF area. Good luck to you... keep up with the birks and you'll do better and better with time and patience.
