What Causes Severe Pain In The Right Heel?

Hello. I am a Registered Nurse. Over the past few weeks, I have experienced a really sharp stabbing pain in my outer right heel.( maybe once a week) It is almost incapacitating. Twice I have taken off my shoe and sock to check for a spider bite...it resolves quickly, and does not leave a lingering pain.It almost feels like a needle stick. No heel spurs, no PVD. I take a Statin, but that is not new. I am 60 years old, female, and have a DX of CLL. I do take a small dose of Lisinopril for slightly elevated BP. Thought I would fish for any ideas before going to my MD..no time! Thank you
