High heels might turn heads—but they can also hurt your joints. If you wear heels regularly and experience heel, ankle, or knee pain, it could be more than just a sore foot. Prolonged use of high heels may contribute to joint stress and inflammation—especially if you’re already at risk for arthritis. ⚠️ Chronic heel pain that lingers, especially in the morning, could signal enthesitis—a symptom of inflammatory arthritis like psoriatic arthritis or ankylosing spondylitis. 👣 Don’t ignore the signs. 📌 Ask your doctor for a referral to Piedmont Arthritis Clinic for expert evaluation and support. 🌐 Learn more at piedmontarthritis.com . . #PatriotDay #NeverForget #September11 #HonorAndRemember #911Tribute #WeWillNeverForget #PiedmontArthritisClinic #PAC #GreenvilleSC #UpstateSC #CommunityCare #ThankYouFirstResponders #UnityInRemembrance
