9. Difficulty Walking or Standing for Prolonged Periods
If the heel spur irritates the surrounding tissue or you also have plantar fasciitis, you may have trouble walking or standing for extended periods.4‘How Walking Can Make Plantar Fasciitis Worse.’ RNV Podiatry. 19 June 2019, rnvpodiatry.com/how-walking-makes-plantar-fasciitis-worse/
Sometimes, this occurs as a result of the way you walk. For instance, you could also notice that it’s worse when you walk quickly. It could worsen when you walk or stand on a hard surface. For many people, the heel spur or plantar fasciitis won’t interfere with standing or walking, but the pain will develop after these activities.5‘Bone Spurs (Osteophytes).’ Cleveland Clinic. 16 November 2019, my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/10395-bone-spurs-osteophytes
