Whenever you feel pain under your heels, this is considered as plantar fasciitis. This is the most common cause of heel pain. Pain behind the heel is Achilles tendinitis. Pain can also affect the outer and inner side of the foot and heel. In numbers of cases, pain is not caused by an injury. At first, this is quite mild, but this will turn out to be extremely severe and sometimes disabling. This also disappears without treatment, but sometimes it can persist and become chronic.
