I usually get this problem during the winter, but for some reason right now have that problem even with wearing regular shoes and it has been like summer for a number of months now.  I recently bought Avon's Foot Works cracked heel relief cream.  It works very well, and also has lidocaine in it so it will help the pain.  I highly recommend it.  I cannot give you a direct webpage at Avon as when I did a search it did not give an exact url.  You can just go to their site and do a search for the name.

I found this in the internet.\n---------\nSevere rear foot pain that accompanies the first step out of bed in the morning is a sign of plantar fasciitis, a foot condition often accompanied by a heel spur. A heel spur occurs when a calcium deposit forms on the heel bone, causing a bony protrusion.\n\nThe heel bone is the largest bone in the foot, and absorbs the greatest amount of shock and pressure from walking, running and other activities. The bone is connected to the forefoot by the plantar fascia, a broad band of fibrous tissue located along the bottom surface of the foot.\n\nWhen the plantar fascia is stretched and pulls away from the heel, usually the result of over-pronation (flat feet), calcium deposits can form to fill in the gap, causing heel spurs. People with unusually high arches can develop the problem, and women have a significantly higher incidence of heel spurs than men because of the types of footwear they often wear, including high heels. Dancers or athletes who stretch the plantar fascia on a regular basis are also at risk.\n\nAccording to Dr. Suzanne Belyea, D.P.M., Medical Director of Foot.com, heel spurs themselves do not cause the severe pain. "When people have an over-stretched plantar fascia, it tightens up at night. The first step out of bed pulls it away from the insertion site, and the resulting inflammation of the plantar fascia is what causes the pain. Heel spurs are often present with this condition, but not always."\n\nStudies have shown that the size of the heel spur does not affect the level of pain, and that treating the inflammation related to the plantar fascia should allow the patient to live pain-free with a heel spur.\n\nThe key to treating the inflammation is determining the cause of the excessive stretching of the plantar fascia. When the cause is over-pronation, an orthotic with rearfoot posting and longitudinal arch support can effectively reduce the problem and allow the condition to heal.\n\nOther common treatments include foot stretching exercises, especially first thing in the morning before that first step is taken, weight loss, wearing shoes that have a cushioned heel to absorb shock, and elevating the heel with the use of a heel cradle, heel cup, or orthotic

Sounds like shin splints.  You probably don't need to go to the doctor.  You should stay off your feet awhile, and use a cortisone cream on them.  Take an anti-inflammatory med, unless you have any medical condition which would make that unwise.  If they don't feel better with 3-4 days of relative ease, go to the doctor.  \nIf you're going to play softball and tennis regularly, make sure you're wearing good shoes that are designed for those specific uses, and stretch beforehand.

Possible causes: Plantar fasciitis, achilles tendonitis, heel spur, stone bruise, fracture, peroneus tendonitis, retrocalcaneal bursitis, heel pad atrophy, tumor.\n\nFor an accurate diagnosis - see an orthopedic specialist who specializes in feet.\n\nThe AAFP has a nice website on heel pain: \nhttp://www.aafp.org/afp/20040715/332.html

Please tell me more about your general health through the form on this weblink http://www.jentleearthhealing.com/medherb.html and I will try to help you out.\n\nI suspect it is from a build up of toxins that can present as calcium build up in the bottom of the foot. Reflexology is great for remedying this but I will not know if this is the case till I talk to you further.\n\nCraig - Naturopath

Sounds like it might be plantar fascitis. I had that. It's an inflammation of the fascia on the bottom of the foot. I ended up getting inserts for my shoes and had to do stretching and strengthening exercises. And don't climb round rung ladders!

Hi, I had the same problem before. Use heel cushions with your shoes. You will have a relief for sure.\nGood luck!

Standing too long on your feet. Walking alot. Ill fitting shoes. Poor circulation. Just some of many reasons. If it persists see a podiatrist.:)

It means the top of your foot itches.

This is most likely due to plantar fasciitis, which is a fairly common foot problem. The best way to help prevent this is by stretching before you go to bed and before you stand up in the morning. Put a towel around the ball of your foot and push your heal down to stretch the tendons on the bottom of your foot. Do that regularly, twice a day. If that doesn't still doesn't help, you can buy sleeping splints that hold your ankle at a 90 degree angle. Another thing that also tends to help this and most foot problems are proper insoles for your shoes. If you do a lot of running or walking, look into getting a set of superfeet for your running shoes.

Give your feet a rest and wear wide-toed  lower healed shoes for awhile.  By wearing those torture shoes you have cut off the circulation in your feet...the blood flow.  This is not good for the extremities to experience.  Our feet are not meant to fit into and be pinched by those type of shoes.  Also the higher heels cause your body to tilt at an uneven angel which also puts pressure on your spine.  You can find stylish pumps with open toes and not such a high heel that are flattering and will not cause so much damage...Best wishes.

Ice it, keep off of it, keep it elevated, take some NSAID's.  (Non steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs)   If it gets worse, Definitely take it to a Doctor.  Take it to One now If you can't move your toes or foot, or if it hurts too much to put wieght on, or if it looks or feels bad enough to raise serious concern.  But if all it is is a Little swelling, don't worry about It To Much.  \n\nFeel Better\n\nUncle Mike

A podiatrist (specialized foot doctor) could probably help you out.  There are many kinds of heel pain and the podiatrist can take x-rays of your heel to see if there's anything wrong, give medications, teach you stretching exercises, fit you for custom foot supports, etc.  One exercise for example is to support yourself against a wall, step back with the affected foot, and stretch out the achilles tendon (that tendon right above your heel).  Of course, the proper treatment will have to depend on the reason for the heel pain.

You may either have fallen arches or heel spurs.

Very possibly a blister caused by the back of your shoe.  If it does not hurt, don't worry about it.  However, it may hurt once it breaks open, so you may want to cover it with a bandage large enough to fit down into the shoe, so it is not rubbed off by the edge of the shoe.
