Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor I have seen your history, and it is a classic case of plantar fasciitis. Weight reduction will help as it will decrease the amount of load on your heels. A course of anti-inflammatory medication is also advised. Contrast bath and soft silicon heel in your shoes will also be required. Only precaution required is for you to avoid walking bare foot. If the condition don't show any improvement in 3-4 weeks physical examination to rule out painful heel pad syn Chat Doctor. One more differential needs to be ruled out now stress fracture calcaneus. Get a X-ray done and get it reported. Follow up with me at Chat Doctor for further query regards
