See a Podiatrist: See a podiatrist- foot specialist. Most likely you have a condition called plantar fasciitis which can be helped with special shoes.

Foot specialist: Calf stretching, ankle joint range of motion exercises like tracing the alphabet a to z with your toes, and anti-inflammatories such as ibuprofen. I recommend a thorough exam by a foot and ankle specialist.
