- Tenderness: The affected area may feel tender to the touch or when pressure is applied.
- Swelling: Inflammation or swelling around the heel can be a sign of an underlying issue.

Heel pain can stem from various factors, including:
- Plantar fasciitis: Inflammation of the band of tissue (plantar fascia) that connects the heel bone to the toes.
- Achilles tendinitis: Irritation and inflammation of the Achilles tendon at the back of the heel.
- Heel spurs: Bony growths on the heel bone that can cause discomfort.
