Why does my heel hurt even after i rested it for a week?

Plantar fasciitis: If your pain is at the bottom of the heel that is worse upon first standing (after sitting for a while) you probably have plantar fasciitis. Other causes are a possible stress fracture to the heel, or bursitis or an inflammed nerve to the heel. See your podiatrist for a definitive answer and quick resolution.

Not treated: Rest alone will not relieve heel pain. It requires treatment.
