Hello, I have been having severe pain in my heels, mostly the left. Went to see the Dr. he said I have plantar facitis which is torn tendon fibers in my arch that causes the pain. He said runners often develope it but it could be caused by alot of things. Has anyone had this problem and if so do they think swimming might have caused or aggravated it ? Thanks Tim

This thread resurfacing is such a coincidence. Had a wonderful workout yesterday evening with lots of breaststroke--whole stroke, pulling and kicking--got up this morning and almost fell down when I put weight on my right foot. There was a pain in my heel and my foot? felt kinda stiff! Very intense pain in the heel, but no where else. Limped around while I was getting ready for work, but by the time I was ready to leave the pain was gone and my foot didn't feel stiff any more and I haven't been bothered with either pain or stiffness all day. We'll see what happens tomorrow morning... no pool time tonight.
