What Causes Sharp Pain In The Heel?
I recently went on a driving holiday and found that my right heel was becoming extremely uncomfortable and painful where it connected with the floor when I was driving. This pain has continued on and off and now I am experiencing sharp pains in the same area that feel like I am being pricked with a pin. This is the same foot that I broke 16 months ago. It s also quite stiff in the morning or if I have been sitting for a long period.

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms seem to be related to Achilles tendinitis.
I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen to relieve the pain.
I also suggest using cold compresses to relieve the symptoms.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
