Hi, thank you for providing the brief history of you. A thorough musculoskeletal assessment is advised. As you have spur in the hell and the gel pad also don't help much I will advise you to consult a physical therapist. As by therapeutic ultrasound therapy the inflammation will be reduced. Physical therapist will help you to learn exercises for the muscles of the feet which you can later perform at home. In my clinical practice I come across patients with Heal spur, and they respond well to physical therapy and exercise. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor.
