I have a similar condition called Achilles tendonitis. It's basically the same thing but affects the back of my heel rather than the bottom. The first time I got it I couldn't believe the pain. It took me three minutes to get from my bed to the master shower and that's about 10 steps. It took about a week to walk normally again. It flaired up a second time and I went to the doctor and he diagnosed the problem. The last two times I could feel it starting to ache I had the hot spot massaged vigorously and that helped immensely. Much less pain and much shorter duration.
