Greeting!
I’m sorry about the pain. But you can start applying ice to the exact area where there is a pain and then gradually stretch the calf muscles.
Next Steps
Try to massage the heel area in a circular motion. This will help you to decrease the morning stiffness. Also, start toe walking and heel walking.
Health Tips
Don’t stand for longer period of time. Consult for any further problems.
Regards.
