Unexplained heel pain

On Tuesday (14/10) evening I felt a slight pain on my left heel. Visibly there was nothing, it was like the knuckle pain I had no obvious swelling or whatever. I lightly massage my heel. 

The next day it was more painful and I was limping around the house. Massaged and put ice pack on it a few times. Then used the eye mask gel which I had left in fridge. It’s flexible so I can Velcro it securely. Didn’t really help tho and it cooled down so fast. 

What kind of pain is this? After the knuckles pain I wonder if this is related to arthritis or whatever as well. I mean this also came out of the blue 


Checked podiatry website. Is it heel spur? But not the correct spot leh! 


Hint hint to hubby - your wife cannot use her hands to do housework. She also cannot walk around end house to do housework. I NEED MC!!!!!!







Treatment : Rest, ICE. Elevate 

Hubby asked me if it’s gout. I doubt so coz altho I’ve never had it before to know how it feels like but when I read the symptoms, doesn’t sound like it is. 

So I haven’t left the house since Tuesday after I reached home from picking lil’ one up from work, all the way until Sunday (19th). Oh! I forgot I walked across to the clinic on Sat with lil’ one. Didn’t want to walk too much the other days, skipped FightDo coz no way this right knee bai-kar left feet pain person can even do a kick or move feet so much. My left leg definitely can’t stand and support my right knee when I need to do a kick or whatever. Just guai guai stay at home. I can slowly limp around the house doing houseworks. 


Photos taken on 16/10 (Thu). More painful.



I didn’t go out with them on Sat for dinner. Beginning to feel less painful so I’m resting at home eating and clearing whatever we have in the freezer for dinner. 

Anyway happened to be at bro’s place to visit mom on Sunday. Was talking to him about what sis said, he mentioned about fire pain for arthritis. But no leh.. I don’t have so it’s not arthritis. Then he describe the pain for gout, it’s not gout for my feet. So what is it? I really don’t know. Haiyah! Just a BIG HINT I shouldn’t do any houseworks lah! 


photo dump here just incase I need them next time
