Can I substitute Xefo Rapid for heel spurs? It caused me severe abdominal pain and nausea.

If you experience severe abdominal pain and nausea with a gag reflex after using Xefo Rapid, stop using the drug immediately and consult a doctor. Treatment of heel spurs, unfortunately, is difficult and often long-lasting. Painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs used on an ad hoc basis only reduce pain and do not solve the cause of the problem. Therefore, it is important to visit a specialist.

In the meantime, you can support yourself with painkillers from the group of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, available over-the-counter at the pharmacy. You may want to consider oral medications, but there is a risk that they will cause you similar side effects as the lonoxicam in Xefo Rapid. Examples of medications include:

In addition, it is worth taking care of comfortable, fitted footwear and considering the use of special shoe insoles or gel inserts under the heel.

I encourage you to consult an orthopedist, who will recommend a visit to a physiotherapist if necessary. The physiotherapist will recommend appropriate treatments that are effective in treating heel spurs. If it is not possible to visit in person, the Gdziepolek.pl portal allows you to use teleconsultations:
