- And more than that will produce a heel spur which is so painful you
- can hardly walk and more than often requires surgery. What happens is
- that the heel bone grows in the direction of the muscle to try to help
- (I'd say), but the spur will pinch your skin and the fat sac that
- protects the bone. So, I agree completely with that. PF is a
- symptom of something worse.
