It sounds like you could be suffering from planar fasciitis and/or heel spur syndrome. This is often associated with pain greatest upon the first step in the morning or after periods of rest. Many individuals will also relate that the pain beocmes worse as the day progresses. Plantar fasciitis is the inflammation of the plantar fascia which requires stretching to help reduce the pain. This is often seen in those who recently gained weight, preganancy and those with flat feet to name a few. You should make an appointment with a podiatrist for a thorough evaluation and treatment options.
