Hi,

According to your complain you have problem of heel pain that may be because of of planter fasciitis problem. If pain occurs at central part of heel may be because of planter calcaneal bursitis.

Detail history and physical examination give exact idea about problems. Dorsiflexion limited in planter fasciitis. X-ray of foot helpful for further diagnosis. Take complete rest till pain decrease. Put your leg inside warm salt water. Orthopaedic devices help in planter fasciitis. Steroid injection can use at last if drug not work. Consult a physician for further diagnosis.

I hope my guidance helpful to you. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Rachana Goswami
