Change in gait?: That part of the heel is associated with the Achilles’ tendon insertion. The tendon “fans” out covering the back of the heel. Tightness to the muscle can cause such problems. I feel consideration to your gate if it has changed due to hip and knee arthritis. Someone trained in biomechanics should be able to help.
