Try stretching exercises, ibuprofen, a night splint which you can get from Amazon

Ice, stretching, and Aleve. You should contact a podiatrist if you continue to have pain. You may need an injection for the inflammation and pain, a prescription for physical therapy, and/or custom foot orthoses.

The most common cause of heel pain is plantar fasciitis. I have written a great deal here about plantar fasciitis, so look up some of the articles I have written. But, in general, stretching, icing, anti-inflammatory medications, injections, orthotics, and appropriate shoe gear are a great place to start.

Begin with rest, ice and elevation. I recommend you make an appointment with a foot and ankle surgeon (podiatrist) for diagnosis and other treatment options

The answer is it depends on the reason or root cause of the pain. Heel pain can be from a heel spur, plantar fasciitis, ligament injury, flat feet, etc. So in order for pain to ease, the cause has to be known. I recommend seeing a foot doctor to find the root cause.
