Answers:
sounds like Plantar Fascitis. I have the same thing. What I usually do when it flares up is and it sounds weird but I write the alphabet with my feet . not with a pen or anything just think of your big toe and a pen and make the movements of each letter of the alphabet. you might have to do it a few times to feel the difference but it works for me. also if you stand on stairs facing up the stairs, put your toes on the edge of the step and slowly lower yourself down so your heels are lower than your toes. it will stretch it out. go slowly and don't bounce.
good luck, i know this hurts.
almost feels like someone has a fork in your heel and is pulling it backwards.
It depends on what area of the foot hurts, but if it's in the joints of the foot, you could be developing some arthritis. Try taking an over the counter anti-inflammatory such as Motrin. There are many, but be sure to eat before you take them so you won't develop a stomach ulcer. If it gets worse or persists see a doctor. Try Googling 'arthritis' & check out the sites.
