Calcaneal Bursa
|
Calcaneal Bursa Where the tendon joins the calcaneal bone, friction can cause the spaces between the tendon, bone and skin to swell and inflame with bursitis. This constitutes a calcaneal bursa. Apart from swelling over the back of the heel, you’ll feel acute tenderness and pain when you move it or even apply light pressure. Both stress and complete fractures equal a calcaneal bursa in intensity and pain, so must be eliminated by x-ray or scan. If you avoid pressure you will ease the pain, so bigger shoes, soft padding, or avoiding heel backs by using sandals or running without shoes can help. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory tablets and ice are the other staple treatments. If physio and self-administered therapy fail, a cortisone injection into the bursa may deflate it, although surgery to remove the bursa and excess bone may be the final solution.
