Meet a physiotherapist for proper gastroc exercises. You will have more pain if wrongly done. Use soft heels .with atleast 1.5 cm heel elevation. Fomentation will help to some extent . If severe meet a orthopaedician

It does look like plantar fasciitis. Continue hot foemntation twice a day with hot water for 15 min for a week
Next Steps
include active and passive stretching of the plantar fascia over a step.
Health Tips
if problem persists get lateral x ray of the ankle done to rule out bony spurs.
