If you have sharp pain in the bottom of your heal and it is very painful to put weight on that heel, you could have plantar fasciitis. It is an irritation of the nerve in your foot at the point it attaches to the heel. The best thing you can do to ease the pain is to do calf stretches. Rather than try to explain, Google the term I just gave you and you can find the stretching exercises that really do help. Also, going barefoot can contribute to getting this thing, so wear shoes with good arch support. Even flip flops help. You can also buy special braces that hold your foot in a certain position all night and you can go to a foot store and pay through the nose for special orthotics to put in your shoes. You don't necessarily need to go to a lot of expense, IF you follow the exercise instructions and do them faithfully, and don't go barefoot.

Sometimes when your very active and more 'up on your feet' than other people you can strain your leg joints, like standing to much or if your working at stocks.

Solutions are foot massages or buy a foot massager ,

you can get them from almost anywhere.
