Hi,
Sharp pain on bottom of the heels is due to calcaneum spur. You need to check X-ray foot lateral view. Till then, do under water exercises. Wear MCR slippers. Avoid bare foot walking. Continue slippers or shoe always while walking. For the pain, apply ice packs.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Prasad, Orthopedic Surgeon
