Suggest Treatment For Severe Pain In The Heels

I have been having some heel pain when walking on hard surfaces such as concrete, wood floor, and tiles. The pain is located on my left heel, and the pain is more on the inside of my heel, there is a small bump, that is tender when I press on it. No bruising. It only hurts when I walk on hard surfaces though, not much on carpet, and no pain when it is at rest. What could it be? And what can I do to get rid of it.

Take over-the-counter pain medications.
Wear shoes that fit properly.
