Heel Pain: Plantar Fasciitis is an inflammation of the ligament on the bottom of the foot called the "Plantar Fascia". One of the common causes is trauma. Start with icing the bottom of the foot three times a day for 15 minutes and take a over the counter Motrin twice a day with breakfast and dinner for 3 days. If no improvement see a Podiatrist.

X-Ray: I suggest getting an X-ray to make sure there is no fracture. See your local Podiatrist.
