Very often, heel pain is the result of overload. However, it can be caused by injury.

The heel can be swollen or tender due to:

-Shoes with insufficient support or cushioning

-Run on hard surfaces like concrete

-Running too often

-Rigidity in the muscles of the calf or the Achilles tendon

-Sudden turn of your heel in or out

-Landing violently or awkwardly on the heels

Conditions that can cause heel pain include:

-Achilles tendon swelling and pain

-Hinchazeon of the fluid-filled sac (pouch) at the back of the heel bone under the Achilles tendon (bursitis)

-Bone spurs on the heel
Swelling of the thick band of tissue on the bottom of the foot (plantar fasciitis)

-Fracture of the heel bone that is related to a very hard landing on the heel as a result of a fall (calcaneus fracture)
