It would seem that October is the most vibrant month out of the year with all the colour variations found in these two stones. Both of the crystal structures of these birthstones are quite complex. Tourmaline, for example, has to be cut very precisely so that all the colours can be noticed in one glance.
When a child complains of heel pain, it is often thought to be growing pains, a normal phenomenon during childhood and adolescent growth spurts. 1  Growing pains are a simple way of describing mild and short-lived pain, usually in the legs where a muscle attaches to a bone.
Plantar fasciitis (say PLAN-ter fash-ee-EYE-tus) is the most common cause of heel pain. The plantar fascia is the flat band of tissue (ligament) that connects your heel bone to your toes. It supports the arch of your foot. If you strain your plantar fascia, it gets weak, swollen, and irritated (inflamed). Then your heel or the bottom of your foot hurts when you stand or walk. Plantar fasciitis is common in middle-aged people. It also occurs in younger people who are on their feet a lot, like athletes or soldiers. It can happen in one foot or both feet.
