How To Cure Heel Pain On Left Foot?

extensor digitorum brevis on the left foot is very small and have heel pain in that foot, what could be some causes of this? It s small in comparison to the one on the right foot, and compared to other peoples that I ve been looking at on the internet an in person. I ve had no previous injuries to this foot beside maybe a mild sprain a few years ago, although that may have been my right ankle I can t remember that s how mild it was. Also my left ankle seems to be leaning in toward the arch, either that or the foot is just so flat due to the lack of the muscle that it seems this way.
