That sounds to me like a possible bone spur. I don't know whether or not I ever had one, cuz I never had it checked out, but I had similar symptoms as you've described. The symptoms eventually left on their own, but while I had them, they were painful. My heel usually hurt the worst when I first stepped on it when getting out of bed in the morning. It also hurt some when standing/walking after having been sitting for a while. After moving around for a while, it usually went away, until the next time I got up again. One of my friend's moms also had the same thing, only she had it checked out and I believe they told her it was a bone spur. Surgery may help speed the healing, but I think they generally go away after a bit. Also, i f I remember right, my acupuncturist said that in Chinese medicine, that kind of pain in the foot signalled that the whole body was somehow lacking in energy, or something like that.
