Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I suggest you to take X-Ray of the respective area and consult an orthopedician. It might be calcaneal spur.
I advise you to take T.Hifenac D BD (twice daily after food) for 3 days.
Hope your doubts are cleared.
Take care.
