Brief Answer:
Considerations

Detailed Answer:
thanks for sending the question. This might be a case of plantar fasciitis. This is a condition that can cause a significant amount of pain in the area of the heel with walking.

Sometimes the condition can improve with anti-inflammatory medications. Also sometimes podiatrists recommend rollingan ice pack under the bottom of the foot for 15 to 20 minutes a few times per day which might also help.

If the condition does not get better you might need to see it but I trust for for the recommendations.

Sincerely,

Dr. Galamaga
