Tendonitis: Put a heel lift in your shoe, ice them. Consider an antiinflammatory. Night splints may be helpful. Follow up with foot doc.

A few things: It could be achilles tendinitis, tendon tear a bursitis, a nerve irritation or something else. Seeing a podiatrist or orthopedist should help provide a more specific diagnosis and get this issue behind you.
