My right heel is always at least a bit swollen. A lot of the time it's very swollen. At 1st it hurt to touch my feet to the floor sometimes. Then random sudden burning like a match being put out on it for a few seconds to a minute or so. Now random combinations of the 2 happen spuratically. What is it. I begin to limp on it and from my hips down gets tortured.
