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.
(See Anatomy of the Foot and Ankle). Gait abnormalities can cause inflammation of the structures attached to the heel bone, resulting in heel pain. Inflammation of the plantar fascia, called plantar fasciitis, is the most common cause of heel pain.Plantar fasciitis often causes pain that is more severe following a period of rest (e.g., after sleeping).eel pain also is relatively common in active children and adolescents between the ages of 8 and 13. Pediatric heel pain frequently occurs on the bottom rear of the heel or the sides. Heel pain occurs in both heels (bilaterally) in less than 30 percent of cases. The left heel is commonly the first to be affected.
