Foot Heel Pain : This is a common problem and is best treated by a podiatrist in most cases . There are a number of different causes so i would have a specialist treat you and make the proper diagnosis . I would get an x-ray of the heel.

Combo treatment. : If you have plantar fasciitis, and hurt most with the first few steps in the morning, the more you can do together, the better: #1: supportive shoes. #2: firm inserts or orthotics. #3: oral antiinflammatories (check with your doctor). #4: stretching your foot and calf. #5: icing (10 min at a time). You may also need physical therapy or cortisone injections, or eswt if available in your area.
