dear anna
how old are you
u have not mentioned
do you have diabetes
so please go and see a general physician
sometimes when you have diabetes you get sensory disturbence and you feel you are walking on a bubble next getting pain inthe heel may be what we call as calcaneal spur
for diagnosing it you should get an x ray of the heel
so what i suggest is consult a gen physician
after examining he will treat and also may refer you to an orthopedic surgeon
wishing you all the best
