Hi there

Thanks for the query

Do you have pain when you wake up from bed and take first steps in the morning?

Do you stand or walk long hours during the day?

There's a possibility of Plantar fascitis or flat foot in your case. Plantar fascitis is inflammation of the tissues in the feet. Flat foot us weak foot arches that can cause pain.

Do reply to my queries for me to give you the right remedy for your problem.

Thanking you.

Brief Answer:
This looks like plantar fascitis.

Detailed Answer:
This looks like plantar fascitis. Try to lose weight if you are overweight. Use soft sports shoes like those from Sketchers. You can purchase from pharmacy silicone heel pad and medial arch support which can be kept under the heel and under the middle of the foot on inner side respectively. Perform plantar fascia stretching exercises as can be found on YouTube.
