If you're a runner with heel pain you may think you have plantar fasciitis. But if it is not getting better, your heel pain may be caused by "neuritis."

I was just giving a lecture to a group of physicians getting their continuing medical education credits at the International foot Medical Foundation medical conference in Lake Tahoe.

I was giving a lecture called “When Heel Pain is NOT Plantar Fasciitis in Runners.” One of the conditions I was talking about was "medial calcaneal neuritis."

One of the doctors in the audience asked a really great question...

He said, “I see a lot of people that have Baxter’s neuritis, and it's down on the bottom of the heel it's plantar , it’s not on the side of the heel, it’s not medial neuritis, it's different. What would you do to tell the difference between these two conditions in a runner, given the circumstances you just explained in the talk?”

Today on the Doc On The Run Podcast we're talking about medial calcaneal neuritis versus Baxter’s neuritis in a runner.
