I would first suggest you visit your physician to have an xray and a checkup. Does it bother you to wear certain shoes? If so the heel cup may be too tight or narrow. Try some gentle calf stretches where you lean into a wall and put your foot back behind you. Go to only a gentle stretch, hold for 20 sec. and do about 5 to 8 reps. Ice to the area, followed by gentle stretching can help with inflamation. Also, get a rolling pin or baseball and roll your foot around on this, put firm, but comfortable pressure on it. Do this for about 3 min. 2-3 times per day.
