Brief Answer:
Plantar fasciitis
Detailed Answer:
Hi there.
Thanks for the query.
It appears that you have pain in the heels which is commonly due to plantar fasciitis.
It would be ideal to try to lose weight if you are overweight, wear silicone gel heel insoles inside your footwear, Do calf stretching exercises (which you can find on YouTube).
Calf stretching exercises are the best treatment.
Thanking you.
Kind regards,
