What could produce severe heel pain?
7 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Plantar fasciitis?: The most common causes of heel pain are plantar fasciitis (bottom of heel) and achilles problems (back of heel). I recommend an evaluation by a healthcare professional if the problem persists.

2 possibilities: Pain on the bottom is typically due to plantar fasciitis (www.Drmarkgalland.Com 1/16/13), while pain on the back may come from irritation of the achilles insertion. You can treat both w/ rice & stretching/ strengthening. You may also need arch support (pf) or a heel lift (achilles), but you should consult a physician before adding orthotics that will alter your foot posture/ mechanics.
