Off and on the last two years I have been working out. This year I started again as my wife also started a workout regime. But this time I hit a snag. About one week into my workouts my right heel began to hurt. The doctor says it is arthritis in my right heel. Can't jog but do walk 5 miles at least ever other day and use a rowing maching. Also ride a stationary bike at least 30 minutes once a week.

Had six-by-pass surgery in 2007, broke every bone in my left foot when I was 16, dislocated my right shoulder when I was in the 8th grade. I'm diabetic with high cholestrol and high blood pressure. I'm on medication as well.

I really want to add jogging back into my workout schedule but don't know how long my heel will be in pain. It's been about four months and I don't if it will ever be pain free.

It sounds to me as if you are following a very good cardio plan at the moment, no need to add running if your heel is not ready for it yet.

Maybe rather add strength training (with weights) for a balanced exercise programme and muscle improvement.

There is a Fitness and Exercise Board where the expert answers questions. He may be able to give you advice too if you post there.
