HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is possible that you may be referring to a calcaneal spurs which are bony outgrowths.
These are small bony out growths that occur on the calcaneus ( the heel bone).
Treatment includes lifestyle changes such as certain physical exercises for this time of issue which can be found online.
Rest , replacing any worn shoes and use of proper shoes would also be helpful.
I hope this helps
