What Does Soreness On The Heels Indicate?

Hi I am a diabetic. I have had problems with my left foot before such as Plantar fasciitis, Bone spurs etc, Now I have a sore area on the bottom of my heel. It is inflamed a little, I have been putting ice on it. Warm to the touch. Hurts like **** when I push on it or walk on it. What do you think? My foot doctor retired and I do not have another one yet. Thank you Margo Rogers
