Often, a heel spur is asymptomatic, meaning there are no symptoms.

The following symptoms and complaints may indicate a lower (plantar) heel spur (= plantar calcaneal spur):

  • Load-dependent pain in the plantar medial heel area (= plantar fasciitis):
    • Stabbing pain when walking (especially in the morning after getting up) or after inactivity.
    • After initial improvement, the pain intensifies during the day
