Heel Pain
How is the condition diagnosed?
Sometimes people who know what is causing their pain and where it is coming
from are able to diagnose their problem. But some conditions are not so obvious
and will require medical help. Usually a healthcare provider can quickly make
the diagnosis with a simple exam.
Sometimes, X-rays or special studies, such as bone scans, computerized tomography
or CT
scans, and magnetic resonance imaging or MRI, are used. If the problem
involves inflammation, an evaluation for this condition, including a complete
arthritis workup, may be
necessary.
