Brief Answer:
Wear ankle brace/heel cushions

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

You seem to have wrong fitting of shoes. It could also be sprained ankle or maybe a ligament/tendon rupture. Orthopedic surgeon will be best able to help you. Meanwhile you need to rest the foot completely (especially if its a rupture). For this purpose an ankle brace is needed. Also silicon heel cushions may help.

Hope this helps.
