What Causes Severe Pain In The Heels?
I am 64 years old and in excellent health. Suddenly, two weeks ago I began getting horrible pain in my feet, primarily my heels. I also suddenly have a knot on my Achilles tendon. I can hardly walk and have a deep tolerance for pain. I do not take prescription medication and do not use street drugs.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Heel pain is most commonly caused by plantar fasciitis which can get relieved by taking pain killers like Diclofenac twice a day along with ranitidine twice a day before food. Rest also helps.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
