I had was experiencing a lot of pain with what semed to be heel spurs and using cushioned insoles for my shoe, being picky about finding comfortaable shoes, and using ibuprofen to control inflamation (including taking a dose before SCD class) has made a huge difference.

It sounds like you don't like take medications but maybe this is an option you should rethink. Everything has pluses and minuses, you have to weigh them for each situation.

Hope you feel better soon.
