Hello
If it hurts more in the morning in the heels
I suppose you are suffering from plantar fasciitis
It needs a intralesional injection and footwear modification followed by a physiotherapy
In case pain more in back of heel u might be having a retrocalcaneal bursitis which also is managed by footwear modification ultrasound therapy depending upon grade of the disease or sometimes even surgery

If your heel pain is worse in morning it can be due to plantar fascitis. You need evaluation to determine if it's related to a secondary cause (like arthritis) or not. Treatment involves physiotherapy, medication for pain relief as well as primary cause, and sometimes local injections
Next Steps
Consult a Rheumatologist for further evaluation
