This could not be further from the truth. No foot pain is normal no matter how insignificant.
When you do nothing to fix the problem, you could be missing out on enjoying so many things…pain free. Is it affecting your work, recreation, relationships, health, etc…?
On the other hand not dealing with heel pain as soon as you notice it can lead to long term problems, more invasive procedures required to correct it, and longer recovery periods.
The largest bone in your foot is your heel bone, it supports your entire body weight.
Common conditions that cause this type of pain are:
