Why would my heels hurt from standing?

Get diagnosis 1st: Heel pain can originate from a number of different causes. Although plantar fasciits is a common cause of heel pain it is by no means the only one. See an orthopaedic surgeon to get a diagnosis. One in your area can be found at: www.Orthodoc.Aaos.Org/footankle.

Stretch: Heel pain responds to rest, ice, stretching, arch supports, better shoes and antiinflammatories. If this doesn't help then seek your favorite podiatrist.
