Inflammation

When the heel area has been damaged due to Sever's disease, inflammation might be one of the first symptoms to appear. There are two types of inflammation, acute and chronic. Injuries like Sever's disease cause acute inflammation.

Inflammation is caused by chemicals from white blood cells moving through the body to protect it from invaders. It's indicative of an injury or some other type of problem. The inflammation is related to redness and swelling and resolves with ice, rest and anti-inflammatory medications.
