Hi there...unilateral heel pain could be due to several things like inflammation of tenodcalcaneum tendon (trauma or sprain), corn, foreign body granuloma. It will require detailed clinical examination to determine the cause. For now you try to give as much rest as possible to the heel. Try cold water compresses. And visit a orthopedic when possible to determine the cause and further treatment.
