Achilles Tendonitis: Probable achilles tendinitis which is stretching the tendon where it inserts on the heel. Try wearing a heel lift in your shoe or a slight heel to relax the tendon from its insertion. Ice, rest, topical irritants like icy hot or bengay can help to. If it doesn't get better visit your local podiatrist for further evaluation and treatment.

Achilles tendonitis: If you are suffering from achilles tendonitis it will throw off your entire gait cycle creating knee and even hip pain. Use ice to the back of your heel and get a pair of orthotics to help take pressure off the heel and knee.

Posterior heel spur: Back of heel pain could be heel spur on bone or in achilles tendon. See foot dr for examination and x-rays studies.
