The most common cause of heel pain is Plantar Fasciitis. This occurs when the ligament that runs along the bottom of your foot is torn. If you have this, you’ll notice that the heel pain is the worst when you wake up in the morning. The reason why is that the ligament were healing during the night and reattaching, but when you put weight on your foot getting out of bed, they tear again.
On some cases, the pain in your heel could be coming from a stress fracture in your heel. This could be a result from a major strike to your heel, like falling from a high height and landing on your heels. If this is the case, you need to consult a podiatrist right away.
One other cause for heel pain is Haglund’s Deformity. This is enlargement on the back of the heel bone. This is a painful bump that is irritated by the constant rubbing of shoes. If you have a large lump on the back of your heel, this is probably the source of your pain.
