Heel pain: This could be plantar fasciitis. If this does not get better with rest and some otc NSAID like Motrin i would suggest your see a podiatrist.

BOTH heels?: While plantar fasciitis is the most common cause of heel pain, it usually affects only one heel (at a time). You may have an underlying arthritic condition, or the pain could be biomechanical. You need to be seen by a podiatrist.

Plantar fasciitis.: The most common cause of heel pain is plantar fasciitis: an inflammation of a thick band of tissue that helps hold up the arch of your foot. It attaches to your heel bone, and is usually the most painful for the first few steps in the morning, or after sitting a long time and then standing quickly. See your podiatrist to rule out stress fracture or tarsal tunnel syndrome.
