Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have intermittent and sharp heel pain. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query achilles tendon rupture , bursitis , fibromyalgia , gout , plantar fasciitis , rheumatoid arthritis or tendinitis .

Consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination . Doctor may order x-ray , CT scan and physical examination .
