Suggest Treatment For Pain In The Heel

yes. I have been having pain in the right rear of my foot at the heel. I is sensitive to touch pain in one spot. I have trouble walking especially down stairs and especially in the morning. Could this be achilles related? I have not had don t remember any particular collision or impact of any kind. Also both heels really get pains when I stand on them for a while like I am on pics of glass...I am 58 and other than overweight (5 8 and 230) am in OK health...
