What Causes Severe Pain In The Heel?

I have been experiencing severe pain in my right heel for approximately 5 weeks now. I didn t step on anything, I didn t start wearing any new shoes, I didn t fall or twist my foot in any way. It just started hurting one day and hasn t stopped. If I press on it, it hurts even more. It s hard to walk on it.
