Hi, The condition which is bothering you is a calcaneal spur.  It is one of the common problems that occur during elderly ages and can be easily diagnosed by an X-Ray. In the meantime I suggest to use footwear with soft and thick soles.  For treating the condition I suggest you take following Ayurvedic medicines with a due discussion with your Ayurvedic Physician. 1. Kishore Juggle.2. Rasnasaptaka Kathy.3. Karpuradi Tail is to be applied over the region and given a mild massage. Later this is followed by dipping the foot in hot (Bearable limit) saline water for 10 to 15 minutes.  Start with this regimen and get back to me after 15 days. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
