Help! I have severe heel pain. It is especially painful when I stand up after sitting for a while. Anyone know what this might be?
My first guess is that this is plantar fascitis which results in severe heel pain that is usually the most painful in the morning when you first put weight on it after a nights rest. Here are a couple threads that explain what it is and how to treat it.

Make sure you get this checked out asap! I had plantar fascitis in my right heel and compensated so much with my left heel that I ended up getting it my left heel as well!
