Re: About heel pain

[Guest guest]

Hello All, First of all, welcome to all of the new members to this wonderful group of people! Now, about getting comfy with a painful heel. Get a thick, medium support pillow, put it sideways across the bed and rest your calf on it, from the knee down. The heel of your foot, and also your ankle, will not touch it and you can lay on your back, your side or even your stomach if you want to. I can't lay any other way without killing my heel. And it's comfortable if you do it right too. This is just my two cents worth. Hope it helps someone. Hugs to all, Faith
