You know when you jump off something high and your ankle goes "ooooowwwWW!" yeah, that happens when I'm running. Its so mean!
then it feels like they're swollen and they are extremely painful. When i dont get that sharp pain, every step i take feels like its pushing againt a bruise on my ankle. Then after i stop running, it hurts to walk for a little while :\
I'm running heel-toe and stepping pretty well lightly, i am running on a pavement thingy though. Should i be running on something softer? like kittens?
Any advice? I totally dont mind giving it up! but its a nice change from boring-ass stationary biking and i can do it during my lunch hour at work, so its cool.
Fix it pls!!
Ta!
:P

Where is your pain? A heel spur would be directly underneath your heal due to tight fascia and muscular of the foot leading to bony growth from tensile forces of the muscle. A heel spur would hurt all the time so if you don't have pain with just walking alone then that is not the problem. How many miles are you running? You should slowly progress week by week if you haven't run for some time.
