heel pad atrophy HELP

If you have "heel pad atrophy" and it hurts because of that, then all you can do is to replace the heel pad "pad" with supplements such as poron padding or silicone heel pads.

Who made the diagnosis of "heel pad atrophy"? Just because their is some atrophy of the fat pad and the heel is painful, that does not mean that it is the cause. You really need to sort out the exact cause first.

 

My podiatrist diagnosed it after I recieved 4 injection in my left heel.

 

What did they inject?

 

My left heel.

 

What was it they injected into you.

 

Cortizone

 

Cortisone is not used for fat pad atrophy. It may even make that worse, if the diagnosis was correct.

 

I have a Rumitoid nodual and a P.F. flare up. The injections were used for that starting 7.2015. After 27 PT sections didnt help. Now in Nov. This is a new diagnosis. I am looking for help with Heel Fat pad Atrophy. HPA is the result of the injections.

 

Admin, I knew that. I also am using 6% Lidocane. I was hoping I wasnt up against the wall.

 

Does mobilizations of the heel pad tissue helps? Or probably strengthening of foot just to compensate for a while? Thinking of possible approaches to this.

 

I am taping the heel. And have PT sessions twice a week. It's my understanding that this doesnt heal! I will have this pain forever. I cant wear any of my shoes or boots. I walk 12000 steps daily when I am at work. I need help
