Brief Answer:
It may be plantar fascitis

Detailed Answer:
Hi I am Dr Gopal Goel Orthopedic Surgeon.
Heel pain , particularly early morning or after rest is called plantar fasciitis. Sometimes there is a bony growth in the heels that causes the problem.
I recommend pain killers , heat therapy and soft silicone heel pads. If no relief in 2-3 weeks ,then local steroid injections may be required.
Thanks for the question. Please feel free to ask any other question.
