It sounds like you may have a plantar fascitis. This is inflammation at the insertion of a band of fibrous tissue in the foot onto the bottom of the heel bone. It can be helped by anti-inflammatory medication, physiotherapy and some gel and foam off the shelf padded orthotics for your shoes (around $20). Some people get relief from rolling there foot over a cold bottle of water on the floor.
