Started experiencing pain in my right heel this past Saturday - now can hardly walk on it and my calfs are killing me due to overcompensating while walking.
Anyone had any luck with a home foot bath/massager?
Thanks all.

This may or may not be helpful to you but it is worth a try.
I had foot pain for years. Went to a doctor who specializes in feet (not a podiatrist. Much higher credentials) and he provided me with orthotics which really helped but I could not bear to be without them. Even around the house I would stick them in my slippers.
Fast forward to lyme. I was working with an D.O. (doctor of osteopathics) These doctors have more training than an MD and specialize in muscular/skelatal and circulatory systems.
I told him my orthotics were wearing out and could he get me new ones as I no longer lived in the same state as the original doctor. He said "I get rid of many of those things". He did some adjustments to my body and said "now try going without them for awhile". That was 2 yrs ago and I still don't need them. I can go barefoot, sandals, etc.
Maybe you could visit a D.O. in your area and see what they can do for you?
