I'VE GOT A QUESTION FOR ALL YOU FOOT SPECIALISTS OUT THERE:
I HAVE A PATIENT (MIDDLE-AGED WOMAN) WITH SEVERE (AND I DO MEAN SEVERE!!)
RETRO-CALCANEAL SPURS (PUMP BUMPS). SHE COMPLAINS OF CONSTANT PAIN AND
WEARING OUT THE BACKS OF HER SHOES. THE BUMPS ENCOMPASS ALMOST THE ENTIRE
POSTERIOR REGION OF HER HEEL. WHAT DO YOU SUGGEST? A SPECIAL SHOE? A FOOT
ORTHOTIC OF SOME SORT (MAYBE WITH HIGH TRIM LINES AND RELIEF AROUND THE
BUMP). ANY AND ALL SUGGESTIONS ARE WELCOME. THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!
