Feels like under my heel was smashed by a hammer. no trauma to heel. does this description fit pinched nerve in back or nerve impingement in heel?

Calcaneal branch: of tibial nerve can be checked with an NCV exam. Have somebody check for foreign body like a piece of glass with a careful exam. Also an x-ray can show a calcaneal spur. If this fails see a foot specialist (podiatrist)
