pain in the heel

[rayjag]

Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with the following:

On my left heel directly in the middle it feel as if there is a little lump under the skin that is soft and painful to pressure. It really bothers me when we run around the dojang barefoot for warmups as well as other times. It has been there for at least 4 months. I think it has developed due to repetitive impact. It is definitely not a stress fracture.

Any thoughts?

Maybe a really thick callus? Maybe...?

Possible bone spur, I have one and my foot doctor said I also had plantar faciites. You might want to get an x-ray to see, at least see the doctor because they would be better to ask then someone on the forum.

Another interesting thing is though I do not feel any pain while wearing shoes; when I keep my foot in the same position for a while,(with shoes on) especially while driving, I get a painful burning sensation in that area of my heel. Guess I should go see a real doctor!
