Heel Pain!

[Sam25]

This is actually my office buddy's problem...He's been suffering from pain in his right leg heel. According to what he said he feels the pain more in the morning (a sharp pain) when he wakes up and is spread throughout the day (sharp moderate pain). His job is basically sitting down infront of the PC all day with not much outdoor work.

What could be the reason for this? He's around 38 years and weighs around 60 kgs. Please advice!

Thanks!

(60 kg = 132 lb)

How did he get the pain? Only thing about leg pain I heard of is shin splits.

probably tendonitis, i'd have him go see a doctor. they'll probably prescribe him an anti inflammatory.

bone spur perhaps?
