Brief Answer:
Plantar fasciitis likely.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The pain in foot and heel can be due to a condition called plantar fasciitis. Its one of the commonest reason for heel pain. Presence of a bony spur can aggravate the pain. Pain in morning and improvement on walking for some time is its classical presentation. The initial treatment with anti inflammatory medicines with rest and cold fomentation works fine for most of the patients. Cortisone injection is a good mid to long term treatment. You can consult a podiatrist or orthopedician for proper management.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
