Plantar fasciitis (say "PLAN-ter fash-ee-EYE-tus") is the most common cause of heel pain. The plantar fascia is the flat band of tissue (ligament) that connects your heel bone to your toes. It supports the arch of your foot. If you strain your plantar fascia, it gets weak, swollen, and irritated (inflamed).
That's what it sounds like...take it from an umpire that got that condition last season. It took a year to finally get over it.
My solution were some shoe inserts that lifts the heel. Purchased several sets and put them in all my shoes. I was able to work games last year because of the inserts.
I still wear the inserts...don't want the condition to come back.
