I think heel pain can be due to several things:
1) heel spurs--- if you have these, you need to wear cushioned shoes and slippers to avoid aggravating them
2) tendonitis of the achillies tendon...this can be painful and due to any pressure from shoes or weird exercises that overstretch the tendon. Some people can even rupture this tendon, and it may follow treatment with fluoroquinolone antibiotics like Cipro, Levaquin or Avelox.
3) Plantar fascitis, as others here have experienced. This can clear up, but it takes time, and you need to examine your shoes and habits so you don't reactivate it.
Some foot pain like this may respond to Salonpas patches.
I use these OTC patches for some of my foot issues.
They work really well for me.
