has he tried anything on his own to make it better? nonsterioidals like the motrin you all hand out like candy? where is the pain.... at the bottom of the heel? posteriorly along the tendon?
He is not running, and that is what worries me. When a man that hard stops an activity on his own due to pain....

I have him on SF Candy - 800mg TID for unrelated Old Dude Syndrome in his knees. I'm hoping to get some collateral benefit for the foot problem.

Pain is on the bottom, about center of the heel. Seems to be a point almost. He didn't have any trouble showing me with one finger - went right to it. I was thinking tendon as well, but the geography doesn't fit. I tend to think he has a deep bruise from stepping down on a rock. The thing that bothers me is the time without improvement. Of course he hasn't been inactive all that time either, he's been walking and standing alot.

I've ordered him to change his footware as well.
