Plantar heel bursitis misdiagnosed as plantar fasciitis - a podcast by Dr. Christopher Segler

I was just doing a telemedicine call with a runner with a long history of plantar fasciitis, that has not been getting better. She had been doing stretches, icing, and even an injection of corticosteroids around the plantar fascia. 

We were doing a second opinion telemedicine call to talk about what's really going on. We talked about her whole history. She had been keeping track and has kept a pain journal. 

During this one hour second opinion call, we figured out that she had been misdiagnosed.

We figured out she actually had bursitis on the bottom of the heel.

Today on the Doc On The Run podcast, we're talking about plantar heel bursitis, misdiagnosed as plantar fasciitis.
