Plantar fasciitis: Sounds like plantar fasciitis try using ice to the area and take in oral anti-inflammatory drug use shoes with good support and if it doesn't improve go and see a podiatrist.

Plantar fascitis: Sounds like plantar fascitis. You should see a foot and ankle specialist to properly diagnose the symptoms. Usually an ultrasound will be performed to measure and determine the plantar fascia and determine what treatment is necessary.

Many possibilities: Your pain could be as a result of many different things. A thorough history and physical exam and possibly some laboratory and radiology exams are needed to determine the exact cause. Causes of pain may include: trauma (fracture, sprain, arthritis), infection, metabolic conditions (gout), musculoskeletal or biomechanical abnormality and neurologic conditions (neuropathy).
