The only real way to know is to have an xray. If you get up in the morning and you can barely walk with extreme pain in the heel this is a likely cause. Limp on over to a drug store and get those semi translucent plastic heel inserts (heel cups) that support your weight. They will get rid of the pain. Don’t wear high heels. These are other methods without surgery, but I haven’t had the problem for 23 years.
