Some things: May be spurs, or excessive boney prominence called haglund'd deformity. May also be achilles tendonitis at attachment of heels. Make sure you have proper fitting and supportive running shoes. Stretching will help lessen tension at heel insertion. Ice after running may also help. See podiatrist to find out what the problem is and what is causing it. There are treatment options.

Stretching, ice`: While the most likely cause is trauma to the area from the running, the best way to alleviate it is ice, nsaids and stretching. Obviously if there is an underlying foot abnormality orthotics may help. Also, check out your shoes at a qualified running shoe store to see if they are best for you.

Shoes: Change running shoes and elevate heel with a 1/4 inch heel pad to start. May have to go up to a 1/2 inch.
