If anti inflammatory medication is not giving relief do Physiotherapy along with it
If the pain still does not subside consider getting a local injection which will help with the pain
You can continue ice packs

A heel spur is usually an incidental finding. If conservative management with physiotherapy and medications have failed. You can get an injection at the site to reduce pain.
