Answers:
sounds like a possible fracture -running can definately cause alot of problem -shin splints -there are many types of fractures -comminuted -spiral-compact fractures-although these fractures arent visable -like a compound fracture is -the only real way to determin if you have a fracture is with an x-ray-and even then -if its a hairline fracture -it can be difficult to see - i lost my temper several years ago -and punched a wall -i have what is called a classic boxers fracture -involving the right pinky knuckle -it never swelled up or discolored -but i knew i broke it -right away the angle of the fracture is a 45 degree angulated fracture -i can still use my pinky finger and i never had it reset -i dont advise doing that -but i am a stubborn guy
Usually when people refer to a bone spur in the heel it is actually Plantar Fasciitis and if you have developed a bone spur it will not go away on its own. PF can be extremely painful. Ice and stretching help. My first suggestion is to see a Dr they can tell you for sure what the problem is and the best treatment. Only a dr can diagnose a broken bone for sure. For PF freeze a water bottle and roll it with your foot and stretch. Rest is probably the best cure. Once it feels better make sure you stretch carefully before you run. Check out these sites.

it sounds like you may have injured yourself prevously.there is a tendon that goes round the back of the heel to the toes .when it gets injured it tightens up .to relieve its quite simple just stand on a tennis ball on the arch of your foot for about 5 mins 4 or 5 times a day within 2 weeks it will be fixed .
