Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern..

As per your complain pain in heel that occurs more during waking up and persists throughout the day can be due to common causes like Planter, Fascitis, Achilles Tendonitis, Bursitis, Gout, Achilles Tendon Rupture, Heel Spur, Tendinitis etc..
I would suggest you to consult an Orthopedician or Podiatrist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like x ray and blood tests can help in diagnosis and treatment can be planned accordingly..
You can be advised anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen, muscle relaxants like Chlorzoxasone, cool compresses, steroid injection, night splints,physiotherapy, sound wave therapy etc..
Wedges and heel cups can be advised to you..
Wear proper fitting shoes..
Avoid excessive exertion..
Avoid wearing very high heals..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
