Hi. I can feel your pain. I too have heel spurs on the back and bottom of both heels. And I have them in the other spots that you have them as well. We sound very similar. I have not tried chiropractic care yet. My next thing to do was to try acupuncture. I don’t know why I’m a little nervous about doing chiropractic care but for some reason I feel like the bone spurs could be broken off with a bad adjustment. I go to pain management for injections. So far they are doing them in my upper /middle back and my lower back. Just recently started doing them in my shoulders. I too, was about 30 years old when the bone spurs in my heels were discovered. After that, I had orthotics made which I used for a while, but then I had a major weight loss. I was actually able to be in the gym and pool at the local Y. And that took almost 2 years to lose the weight and I was a gym rat for about seven years. I was still playing golf up to three years ago and the pain in my back I couldn’t stand anymore. I kept saying to my doctor that something was wrong. So he was going to order lumbar x-rays and I asked him to order thoracic as well. And that’s when the diagnosis of this occurred. I can’t tell for sure, but my father died in a car accident at 42 but up till then he had a lot of arthritis. He was an average size man. He also worked as a butcher, so I passed off some of the arthritis from working in the meat lockers but now I’m thinking maybe I’ve inherited it from him. But unfortunately, we never found out whether he did or didn’t have it. It’s a terrible condition to have. I am so glad that you have found relief from the chiropractor. Who knows at some point I may have to try that. I too have insulin resistant diabetes that is pretty well controlled with just metformin. Last A1c was 6.6. I find that stress in my life pushes that number up. Stress Cortisol probably pushing that up.
Anyway, I just want to say I’m glad that you have found something that helps you. That is my hope for everybody who has this that they find something to help them get through. 🙏
