Answer 1

It could be a heel spur or maybe you injured your Achilles tendon.

Both hurt quite a bit. Getting a heel spur spontaneously would be pretty random.. but it could happen I suppose.

Regardless, a good rule of thumb is RICE.

Rest it

Ice it

Compress it

Elevate it

if that doesn't bring you relief, take some acetaminophen or ibuprofen.

if you're still in pain, it couldn't hurt to see a doctor.

take care and get well soon.

Answer 2

It sounds like Achilles Tendinitis. See this video and tape it to allow healing to the tendon. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzRhIyw85... If there is swelling apply Ice for a couple of minutes.  

Answer 3

It may be a heel spur, I got one after a event much like yours. If it is it will hurt for a little bit. there are pads you can get at the drug store you can ask the pharmacist the best one for you. I haven't had a problem with my spur since i put the pad in my shoes.

Answer 4

If its the bottom of your heel it's probably just bruised, just ice it and keep your foot up. If its the back of your heel you could of strained your achillies, ice it, but be careful, if it doesn't get better in a week or two go to the doctor
