I have been going to a foot specialist. I have a calcium deposit on the back of my heel (not the usual place for a heel spur as he calls it). He told me to wear tennis shoes always and forever! Now, that I have been wearing tennis shoes, on the side and top of my other foot the same condition is forming. PAINFUL. He wants to perform surgery and lay me up for months with of course no guarantees. I am hoping for a natural cure? Any suggestions? Thanks! I also am hearing impaired in one ear and should wear a hearing aid, but ... in the mornings I wake up and the inside of my ear (just this one) has dry skin in it (no answers from the ear doctor here either). If you can help, please do. I appreciate it. Thanks!
