Most people experience heel pain with their first steps in the morning, after getting out of bed. It is presented by a sharp stabbing pain at the bottom or front of the heel bone. The pain varies in severity. In most cases, heel pain is more severe following periods of inactivity (e.g. early in the morning or after sitting for a long period). After walking around for a while the sharp pain subsides and is replaced by a dull ache.

Pain and point tenderness are the immediate indicators that something is wrong in a specific area. The onset of pain, suddenly or over time, is an important indicator of the cause of the problem. Other important questions are

1.Is there pain with movement of the affected area?

2.Is it affected by weight-bearing?

3.Does it change your walking gait?

Bones of the foot are joined together by ligaments. A sprain occurs when the ligaments that hold the bones together are overstretched and the fibers tear. Point tenderness and looseness of a joint are indicators of a sprain.

Injury to the bones of the foot can be caused by a single blow or twist to the arch or also by repetitive trauma that can result in a stress fracture. Fractures are indicated by a focal point of pain that may be exquisitely tender on the bone. There may be a distinguishable lump or gap at the site of the fracture. A rotated toe or forefoot may also be a sign of a fracture.

Muscle and tendons move the body. A strain occurs when a muscle or group of muscles are stressed to the point where there is tearing of the muscle fibers. The muscles and tendons of the foot may be strained by overstretching, overuse, overloading, bruising, or even being lacerated. Weakness in contraction of a joint, difficulty in stabilizing body parts, and pain working against resistance are signs of muscle problems. Swelling, tenderness, loss of function, and discoloration over and around the injury of are symptoms of a strain.

Foot pain symptoms can be observed before, during or after walking, standing, running, jogging, climbing or other such activities involving leg activity. It may not affect your performance every time but in case of severe and sustained pain, performance is definitely affected.
