Achilles tendon and planter fasictis
I'm a Soldier in the Indian army. I have had pain in both my heels for the last three years. I have done all scans but none result shown.
But in the last 15 days I have also had pain in the Achilles tendon. Currently I am in training I have to run and jump exercises everyday so there is severe pain in my left heel and Achilles tendon during exercise and standing position.

Use silicone heel pad
Daily Plantar fascia stretching and Achilles stretching
Calf exercises

Health Tips
If severe persistent pain then rule out calcaneal stress fracture with MRI
