Well ive got a sharp pain localised in left heel, when i puit weight on it it really aches, but after walking or massageing it a bit , the pain goes, it seem worse when ive been sitting or lying down for a while,but a bit of massage or walking and it seems to go, the pain is like someone sticking a knife into the base of the heel, on looking theres nothing there visible, like a splinter etc.

Tendon tear/ strain, ligament tear / strain, bone spur, plantar fasciitis, etc etc.

GP time

With all the usual caveats about internet diagnosis, you've probably got Plantar Fasciitis. Classically worse in the morning and after resting but improves with exercise. It's caused by over pronation of your foot causing tension on the strip of connective tissue running along the sole and attaching to your heel bone. It usually responds well to wearing arch supports in your shoes for a few months, and it's worth treating or you may develop a bony spur on your heel, as per coffeeking's lovely xray.
Have you bought new shoes or taken up running etc recently?

It doesnt feel as if somethings there as in broken, just painful and the pain goes in a few minutes, after walking on it, then comes back as soon as i stop for a while, also got it when cycling.
