Brief Answer:
Heel Pain
Detailed Answer:
Sorry to hear about your problem.
I see your diabetes is well controlled so that is good.
Heel pain can have many causes.
A simple Xray will help rule out a fracture.
Sometimes vitamin D deficiency causes bone pain in various parts of the body.
A simple blood test called '25 hydroxy vitamin D' can be performed to assess the body's vitamin D stores. This test can be done at any time of the day or night and does not requ8ire fasting.
It is also a good idea to do routine blood tests such as CBC and liver/kidney/electrolytes/calcium and TSH along with uric acid to look for other potential causes such as gout and thyroid problems
