It may be plantar fasciitis. It may be more painful in morning when you get up from bed or after prolonged sitting position. More painful in first 5-6 steps. Once muscles get stretch, you will not feel pain.
Next Steps
Do ankle toe movements before getting up from bed or before changing prolonged position. Do toe curls with napkin.

Do contrast bath (cold water for 2 mins+ hot water for 3 mins) twice daily. If there is no recovery after 15 days, meet physiotherapist for wax bath therapy or ultrasound with exercise.
