Hand vs heel?: If you're describing hand pain that's bad enough to wake you up, perhaps you're describing carpal tunnel syndrome in which compression (pressure) of median nerve can cause numbness, tingling & even weakness of thumb, index, middle & part of ring finger in classic presentation. If ignored, it can lead to loss of muscles controlling thumb. See your Family Doc for evaluation.

Plantar fascitiis: is what it sounds like. Icing, stretching, wearing supports are all important with treating this condition.
