My heel hurt after game?

[supertrex]

After match my heel hurts it feels like a tingling pain below my heel. I play on hardcourt, I thought its from a shoe but its not. coz I have a brand new shoes and the pain is still there.

It dont bother me while playing ( maybe now ) but do I need to be concerned from this pain or this is normal?

the pain scale is 4. 10 being the highest.

I get heel pain, but its plantar fascitis, but it doesnt feel like a tingling. It is like my heel gets very stiff and hard to walk on with some pain. And usually it loosens up with play and feels better. I wonder if you have a bone spur?

Make sure you do a search on plantar fasciitis, and see if that is what you have. I had heel pain for months and ignored it thinking it was just tendonitis. Eventually I ruptured my plantar fascia running for a short ball at the net. That was in the beginning of November, I am now just starting back to playing. This comes after wearing a boot for six weeks, taking anti-inflamatories, cortizone shots, wearing a night splint, and custom orthos. If I would have gone to the podiatrist earlier I could have avoided a lot of this. Would hate for you to go through the same thing.

are they tendons if so just stretch them

Could be plantar fasciitis as some have suggested or it could be heel spurs.

this can be an area where a good PT or ART/Massage therapist can be a big help..

oftentimes PF is caused by issues in the calf, pulls on the achilles/heel which then pulls on the PF

google PF/Gastroc & Soleus Stretching/check out TPTherapy dot com and some other stuff (icing the pf and such..for me I had to do a lot of ice/heat on the calf to get it loose and healthy.. now 10min of stretching keeps me healthy

tendinitis, common in tennis players and soccer players, i had it about a year ago and there are excercises for this.. even if it is not this tstretching the tendons helps alot and yea hard courts is how i was more vulnerable to getting this:|
