What Causes Severe Pain In The Heels?
When i was running i had something feel like it popped in my heel. It is extremely sore and after sitting for a while or sleeping over night I can not put pressure on it until i walk around on it for a few minutes. Got any ideas of what might be going on?

Hi,
Your symptoms suggestive of musculoskeletal pain. It might be tendoachilis tendon injury or muscle strain. I suggest you investigate with local ankle joint X-ray for further work up.
You can be prescribed anti-inflammatory drug like Ibuprofen or Naproxen.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
