This is a condition called plantar fascititis. There is a large strong tendon like structure which connects your toes to the heel. This fascia is to keep your foot from falling apart when you run. However, it is prone to inflammation. This is usually best felt over the heel and after repeated inflammations it will develop a calcium spur at the site of inflammation-called a heel spur.
Injections are a last resort.
