Yes: See a podiatrist as soon as possible. Possible causes of your pain can be bursitis, plantar fasciitis, faulty foot mechanics among others. A podiatrist can thoroughly exam you, take necessary x-rays and get you started on your heel pain relief.

Have it evaluated.: Heel pain is most often caused by plantar fasciitis, a condition that is sometimes also called heel spur syndrome when a spur is present. Heel pain may also be due to other causes, such as infection, tendonitis, arthritis, stress fracture, nerve irritation, retained foreign body, bone tumor, or a cyst. Have it evaluated by a professional and get the appropriate treatment.
