What causes heel swelling (on the bottom part of the foot/ foot pad)?
6 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Plantar fasciitis: Plantar fasciitis can cause pain and swelling of the heels. You will notice the pain especially when you take your first step in the morning. Try anti-inflammatories such as advil, motrin, Ibuprofen or naprosyn (naproxen) with food first.
