Hello,
Thanks for your query.

As per your symptoms there is possibility of calcaneal spur along with plantar fasciitis.
It is advisable to wear low heel shoe to maintain centre of gravity of whole body.
Shoe/footwear should be with soft sole. You can use silicon pad insoles.

You may need x ray heel to see bony overgrowth.
Start plantar exercises consulting physiotherapist also Physiotherapy like TENS and ultrasound will help.
Take calcium supplement with vit D.

I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
