What Causes Soreness In Right Heel , Pain In The Arch And Foot Spasm?

My right heel has been sore for about 2 weeks. It feels like a bruise. Hurts most when I get up after sitting. Feels good after I put shoes on and walk for a minute and then I'm good for the day. I have been rolling a frozen water bottle from my heel to my toes this highlights some pain in the arch. I have had some foot spasm also, toes curling.
