See provider: you may have plant fasciitis which is pain in your heel area on the bottom of your heel Per haps your ankles are making you walk differently straining the heel See a foot doctor to exam you and provide the correct therapy

Consider other cause: Persistent Achilles tendinitis can exacerbate plantar fasciitis with pain in the posterior Achilles tendon region, and at the insertion of plantar fascia causing posterior ankle and heel pain. Lumbosacral radiculitis with neuroforaminal impingements of L5 and S1 nerve roots can also reproduce pain at the web between 1st and 2nd toes, ankle and heel regions. Consult your physician is the 1st step.
