I feel your pain....literally. Is this a self-diagnosis and/or self-determined treatment choice?

I have had a heel spur for decades, and it is very visible in an X-Ray, but it turns out that the pain was from Planar Fasciitis. I have always gone with the natural instinct to cushion the heel. However, that is not the right approach. The solution is to raise the arch. Thanks to Dr Wu at Tri-county Podiatry, I am pain free due to his prescribing the proper insert for my shoes.
