That is actually what I was told......I did have bone spurs, but the orthopedic doctor said that the actual pain is from the plantar fasciitis/tendonitis.........apparently many if not most people actually have the little bone spurs without any pain or discomfort whatsoever, but when the tendon contracts and begins to experience microscopic tears that is what causes the pain. The tendon attaches at the heel end near (at?) where the bone spur forms.............

My understanding is that orthotics keep the tendon stretched, and it gradually relaxes, or something to that effect........it has been a long time and memory gets vague..........I could be mis-remembering.

Would this be a similar/same thing as tendonitis?  This is what my son has and 
it is so painful.  It was diagnosed as tendonitis but the specialist said it 
wasn't so I wondered if this could be what it is.  He can't walk sometimes when 
its bad.  dee
