Heel pain after COVID-19 vaccine

I've had my right side heel pad pain and callus since my last Pfizer shot in May along with heartburn that comes every now and then after certain meals, none of which I've ever experienced before. My question to others is do you have Type-2 diabetes, HBP, high cholesterol, or are borderline like myself? My foot pain seems to intensify after I've eaten too much of something with a lot of sugar or salt in it. Grating the hard skin underneath, soaking, and even icing helps to relieve it for a day or so but it comes back. Again, I've never had this problem before the shot.

Thank you all for posting this thread . It is very difficult to find any information related specifically on this topic . Severe right heel pain after Moderna vaccine . I am about to get my 3rd Dose Booster and concerned it will make this pain worse . Having significant plantar fascia ‘‘tis symptoms after Vaccine that I have never had before . The inflammation could be associated with my immune system which could be compromised by the vaccine ? Just a thought …. I have also experienced recurrent infrequent swollen lymph nodes in both arm pits weeks after both doses so far . I am taking traditional advise to correct PF symptoms, but this did not occur prior to vaccine and I have always worn a variety of quality shoes . I am interested to learn more about people having similar symptoms long term . Be well all

Yes . I am borderline too and having same symptoms first time ever after Moderna Vacinne . Thank you for posting and sugar salt advise . That had not occurred to me . Concerned about upcoming Booster making this worse . What is the condition some are having related to the heart ? Seems related ?

Thank you for this post . I am also trying some Ora Organics products as well

Interesting. I had Achilles surgery in October 2020. I experienced complications with the surgical incision in December 2020. I have had increased pain, numbness, tingling and swelling. I had not considered inflammatory response from COVID.

Yes..I'm in severe pain on both sides of feet...it's been 4months since my second covid jab .pfeizzer...pain getting worse...

I meant both soles of my feet.

If this is due to components landing in our feet from the delivery systems of the vaccine, there are some things you can try. First, nightly foot soaks in warm water with epsom salts. Second, echinacea tincture or capsules [ i use the tincture] this will aid the lymph system to remove the toxins. If you are able, lay on the floor next to a wall and at the hips lay your legs against the wall, this will give the maximum drainage of the lymph in your legs [stay for at least 15 minutes]. Always drink a lot of water to help the body flush what you have moved around.
I have had this problem for 8 months now and these tricks appear to be helping.

I have had heel pain since my vaccination, but can't honestly say that it was a result of my vaccination because I have a history of foot pain related to plantar fasciitis and tendon inflammation.
Last spring I got my Covid10 shots, and i began walking outside when the pain returned, I was advised to always wear good shoes with arch support, never go bare footed, and to treat it as plantar fasciitis. I added an over the counter gel heel cushion for comfort. In June and August, I went hiking and I was surprised that if I wore my hiking boots that I had no pain! But can't /won't wear those everyday.
In July, my podiatrist suggested that I try a Recovery Sandal by HOKA . They provided arch support that I need, and cushioning for my heel. I don't usually name specific brands, but they worked for me and I could walk with out any pain at all while my heel recovered.

Thanks! I'm going to their site and order me a pair of their shoes to try - my heels & achilles tendons are very crabby right now from wearing flip flops and worn out walkers.
