Heel pain in the morning might be because of a condition like plantar fasciitis or Achilles tendinitis. It may also be due to an injury like a stress fracture.
To treat it you can follow the tips below recommended by most Orthopedic Doctor :
- Rest your foot.
- Do heel and foot muscle stretches.
- Take over-the-counter pain relievers.
- Wear shoes with good arch support and a cushioned sole.

You have Plantar Fasciitis. I leave a link with more information. Plantar fasciitis is most often seen in middle-aged men and women, but can be found in all age groups. Plantar fasciitis is diagnosed with the classic symptoms of pain well localized over the heel area of the bottom of the foot. Often the pain from plantar fasciitis is most severe when you first stand on your feet in the morning. Pain often subsides quite quickly, but then returns after prolonged standing or walking. http://orthopedics.about.com/od/footankle/a/fasciitis.htm

Where in your feet is the pain? Is it the arch? What Does it feel like?
As no area of the foot was mentioned for where the pain was occurring, I wish to direct my response to the pain at the rear of the foot where the sheath surrounds the heel which is commonly known as plantar fascitis when it tears. The footwear I found to be most helpful was Finn Comfort and Birkenstock as both have excellent soles in them so they provide a great arch support, wide range of movement and width for toes, and low heels so the muscles and tendon get exercised and their length returns to normal and thus will not tear the sheath surrounding your heel.
