Podiatrist: You don't give enough description of your symptom for a differential diagnosis. Consult a podiatrist. Your foot discomfort is getting worse and will affect your walking. Calcium deposits in the foot can be from calcification tendonitis. Plantar fasciitis causes predominant heel pain and is very common. A podiatrist is definitely best to evaluate and treat you.
