Runner’s heel pain that might be plantar fasciitis or insertional Achilles tendinitis

Today's episode actually comes from something I read in one of the running forums where someone actually was saying that they were confused.

They had been to see a couple of different doctors and had a couple of different recommendations because they had heel pain.

The heel pain was in a little bit of an unusual area, the heel pain wasn't exactly on the bottom, the heel pain wasn't exactly on the back and it was sort of in the middle, right at the back of the heel where it curves around and they wanted to know what to do.

Is it plantar fasciitis or insertional Achilles tendonitis? That's what we're talking about today on the Doc On The Run podcast.
