What Causes Pain And Burning Sensation On Heels?

Hi, I'm 58 years old female and am experiencing burning, pin prick like pain in my heels upon walking or standing. Although I have bunions, rarely did I have foot problems and am able to walk long distances. I have experienced this pain for over 3 months now, Arthrotec eases the pain temporarily.Thank you for your anticipated info on the symptoms.
