Plantar fasciosis: Can do this. This is sometimes called plantar fasciitis but it is not an inflammatory process so that name is wrong. Anyway, it is a common cause of heel pain and patients can have point tenderness over the heel with plantar fascia thickening on ultrasound/mri. Most cases respond to conservative measures (eccentric exercise, orthotics, night-time stretching boot, etc.) a podiatrist can help.
