Your symptoms are most consistent with Plantar Fasciitis, which is one of the most common causes of heel pain in adults. The plantar fascia is a thick band of tissue that supports the arch of your foot. When it becomes strained or inflamed, it causes sharp heel pain, especially with the first step in the morning, prolonged standing, or after a long walk.
This happens because the fascia tightens overnight while resting, and the first step suddenly stretches the inflamed tissue, producing the sharp pain you are experiencing.
Management Plan
1. Activity Modification
Avoid long walks, running, or standing for prolonged periods for the next 2–3 weeks, as these worsen the inflammation.
2. Footwear Support
Use soft, cushioned footwear or silicone heel pads. Avoid walking barefoot, especially on hard floors.
3. Stretching Exercises
Perform plantar fascia and calf stretches daily, particularly before getting out of bed. These stretches reduce morning pain and speed up recovery.
4. Cold Therapy
Roll a frozen water bottle under your foot for 10 minutes, 2–3 times a day, to reduce inflammation.
5. Medications (if required)
Short-term use of NSAIDs such as ibuprofen or aceclofenac may be prescribed to control pain and swelling, provided there are no contraindications.
Next Steps
Expected Recovery
Most patients improve within 2–4 weeks with conservative treatment. A small percentage may take longer, up to 6–8 weeks.
When to Return for Review
• Persistent pain beyond 6 weeks
• Increasing severity of symptoms
• Pain associated with numbness, tingling, or swelling
In such cases, further evaluation including an X-ray or physiotherapy may be needed.

It is Plantar Fascitis.
Physiotherapy and soft sole footwear, preferably shoes will help.
Physiotherapy has to be regular and consistent for atleast a month.
It takes ime but deficintely will be better.

Based on the image and your symptoms sharp heel pain on the first step in the morning, pain increasing after walking, and one-month duration this strongly suggests Plantar Fasciitis.
This is a very common condition where the thick band of tissue under the foot becomes inflamed.
Typical signs:
• First-step pain in the morning
• Pain at the underside of the heel
• Pain after long standing/walking
• Relief after rest but returns again
Your description matches this pattern extremely closely.
To treat this properly, I need more details:
– Your footwear type
– Whether you stand for long hours
– Any sudden increase in walking/gym activity
– Any weight gain recently
– Whether you have flat feet or high arches
These factors decide your recovery plan, including stretching routine, footwear correction, rest protocol and whether you need further evaluation.
What you should do now
Heel pain needs step-by-step assessment because if the underlying reason isn’t fixed, the pain keeps returning for months.
If you want, you can connect with me directly on whatsapp at Nine Three Two Six Zero Two Zero Five Three Six, for a full personalised plan, including:
• What changes are required in your footwear
• Which stretches to do daily
• What to avoid temporarily
• Whether you need imaging
• How to prevent long-term recurrence
A proper guided plan usually gives relief within 7–10 days.

From the picture and your symptoms (sharp pain with first step in the morning), this looks very typical of plantar fasciitis.
Why it hurts:
The soft tissue under the heel gets tight overnight → first step stretches it suddenly → sharp pain.
Short treatment plan:
Roll foot on a frozen water bottle for 10–15 min, twice daily.
Do calf + plantar fascia stretches morning and night.
Wear soft slippers immediately after waking (don’t walk barefoot).
Use heel cushion/gel heel pad in your shoes.
Pain relief: Diclofenac gel locally 2–3 times/day.
Usually improves in 2–4 weeks.
