Please, tell me what is Apophysitis? Is it related with rapid growth of the kids? I mean my sister is growing fast for her age and she already have spinal problems and how mom said that this process is connected with Apophysitis…or whatever? I am confused...is she sick? She complained on foot pain, maybe is this?

The foot pain Apophysitis Calcanei occurs mainly in active children aged 8- 15 years old. Apophysitis Calcanei is often associated with a rapid growth spurt, as the bones get longer, the muscles and tendons become tighter. It is an injury and symptoms are: pain at the back of the heels when walking and running, possibly a lump at the back of the heel/heels although this might be minimal, pain and tenderness at the back of the heels, especially if you press in or give it a squeeze from the sides. I ma not a doctor and I can’t tell you how or if it is connected with spine.
