NEED FOR SUPPORT!: Most shoes aren't always what is bad, usually it's the crummy insoles they come with! there are many possibe reasons (plantar fascitis leaps to mind) that you may have pain in the heels, but try arch supports like spenco polysorb (http://www.Spenco.Com/products/footcare/poly-sorb) and otc anti-inflammatories (like aleve). If these don't help, see a podiatrist.

See below: There is probably irritation of the nerve to the heel and it is more painful due to the swelling.

Consult with : Podiatrist. Could be another reason for pain such as neuroma, nerve entrapment, stress fracture or plantar fascial tear. May need further testing to rule these out.
