You are probably on the verge of heel spurs or already have them!. I once had these but I was working with a woman who was going to the doctor for hers and so I did all the same things she did and I got better without paying a doctor!.
First thing is to go to a medical supply store and buy those hard insoles with a good arch support!. Then buy some of the ace bandage type things at the drugstore that fit over the foot and the heel is exposed!. This is what the doctor told her to do!. She put these ace bandage things on, put the insoles in running shoes that also had a good arch support and the doctor even put gauze under her arch for more support!. The idea is to support the arch and allow the tendon that stretches from the ball of the foot to the heel to mend itself!. When this tendon is stretched too much that is what causes the heel pain (heel spurs)!. I don't remember how long I wore these!. I was doing a job that required standing all day and it was several years ago!. I hope this helps!. I took Ibuprophen for pain!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It's probably not about stretching!. It sounds like heel spurs, which are calcium deposits that build up!. You should see a physician to make sure!. Since you are very active, they may give you a cortisone shot!. What also helps is orthotics that fit into your shoes!. Once you know where the spur is (the doctor will squeeze your heel) you cut a small piece out of the orthotic where the bone spur is!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
