A calcaneal spur (or heel spur) can cause sharp, immobilizing pain in back of the heel bone (calcaneus) or under the heel bone. Although the pain tends to subside when we rest, it can be especially intense when we begin to walk after periods of rest. If we then continue to walk despite the pain, it will likely begin to subside again.

Hallux rigidus (stiff big toe) is a disorder that is typically associated with degenerative Arthritis (osteoarthritis) in the large joint at the base of the big toe. Given the limited ability of the toe to move and permit the foot to roll through a full step, walking can become painful and difficult. As those who suffer from hallux rigidus begin to alter the way they walk, they may experience pain on the outside edge of the foot.

Hallux valgus is the more or less pronounced tendency of the great toe to bend in the direction of the outside of the foot. Often the common toe deformity is dismissed as only a cosmetic problem. However, the accompanying protrusion of the metatarsal head can cause painful inflammations.
