This is plantar fasciitis!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this pain that you have reported. The cause of this is inflammation of the structures of the plantar fascia. This is termed plantar fasciitis.

Treatment for this condition is mainly supportive which aims at reducing the pains with drugs and physical measures. surgery is rarely considered in severe and intolerable cases.
