Brief Answer:
Can be fasciitis or tendonitis.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Severe pain in the foot with no history of injury can be due to plantar fasciitis or a tendon inflammation. It can happen due to a pathological fracture also due to osteoporosis.
A direct examination by an orthopedician followed by investigations like X-ray and MRI scan will help in proper diagnosis. Do a hot compress and avoid all painful activities till then.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
