Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

The pain in heal is probably caused by inflammation and stress.
It can be tendinitis or fascitis.
I can suggest you to use antinflamatory drugs such advil or acetaminophen for pain relief and inflammation.
Also use ice compresses and rest.
Using loose fit shoes is very important and possibly support.
I think you can get better in a week or two.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
