I used to get this and it's more likely to be plantar fasciitis - does this sound like what is happening?


Plantar Fasciitis is the pulling or micro tearing of the large ligament structure underneath the foot at its insertion point at the calcaneous (heel bone). In nearly all cases it is aggravated by the daily routine of standing (weight bearing) walking, working, exercise etc.

Symptoms:-
Often starts with a “stone bruise” feeling and progessively over weeks intensifies.
Pain first thing in the morning immediately on weight bearing.
Pain after a long period of time on feet ie workplace.
Severe pain on weight bearing after sitting for some time.
Pain after exercise. Walking, holidays, golf, tennis, football, gym etc
At night, even when resting.

Usual Symptomatic Treatments:-
Rest.
Anti-Inflammatories.
Stretching.
Heat.
Cushion pads.
Ice (rolling the arch over frozen bottles or cans of water)
Changing shoes.
Massage, golf and tennis balls etc.
Creams and natural remedies.
Physiotherapy.
Acupuncture.
Orthotics and arch supports.
Cortisone injection.
Shock Wave therapy.
