Sudden pain in right heel of the leg esp when pressing it and walking.no pain when sitting or sleeping.what coukd be the reasons?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Plantar Fasciitis: If no history of injury then most likely the plantar fascia. This is a thick fibrous band that inserts into the heel bone. Ice area at end of day, stretch this band, also the calf and hamstring. Do not go barefoot and by the best arch support you can find. If symptoms don't improve consult a podiatrist.
