If it is the back of the heel that might be the achilles tendon but I would guess and I could be wrong that if it is at the bottom of the heel and not the back of the heel thrn it is more likely to be something else
This guess is based on the location of where the tendon attaches
This is not medical advice nor diagnosis
Being obese may increase the risk of both plantar fasciitis and achiles tendon injuries and a wide variety of other foot, ankle and knee health problems
The extra weight increases the force or pressure on the tissue when walking or standing or when doing certain other activities
And you do not know whether or not some stranger on the internet is obese
@DEERBLOOD @BowsacNoodle @Rwoeidk @shortstories because they’re all fucking 60+ and dying. they don’t want doctor tongue click and doctor jungle aids to run their medical chart through chat gpt to come up with an inaccurate lupus diagnosis when they’re dying of something totally different
@DEERBLOOD @BowsacNoodle @Rwoeidk @shortstories Also there’s so much regulation and monitoring in the medical fields that if you step even a toe out of line they can wield the power of Credentialism And licensure at you to make it so you never work in the field again and if you do your life is much harder. Also you get to keep all of the debt
@DEERBLOOD @Rwoeidk @shortstories Podiatrist is it's own medschool program so it's 3 or 4 years + 3 years of residency. You can be practicing and earning full dollars before 30.
in 2017, 57% of podiatrists had salaries between $100,000 and $250,000, and a quarter of podiatrists had salaries of $250,000 or higher. Podiatrists say it's possible to pursue this career path without working exceptionally long hours, making this one type of health care job that facilitates work-life balance.
