Yesterday, I thought I may have stepped on a spike or something, as there was a little bruise on my heel which was hot and sore, very painful to walk on.
This morning I woke up and there is another sore area on the other side of my heel, which is also slightly bruised looking and very painful. It hurts to walk, so I'm having to walk on "tip toe" on that foot. There is a dull pain all the time, but it is when I press on it or walk on it that it really hurts.
I know people with gout, but they are all much older than me, I'm only 22!! I'm embarrassed to discuss it with them.
I know gout has something to do with healthy living, and I'm not the most healthy person, but I do look after myself!
Could it be gout? Does anyone know or have experience of anything like this???

go see your dr to rule out gout but to me it sounds like heal/bone spurs

It doesn't sound like gout, maybe it's a bone spur (heel spur) -- those can be quite painful. How about your skin-- is it in good shape? is possible that there's a huge callous there and is cracking and that's what's causing the pain. That can happen in the summer when you wear sandals a lot. In any case go see an orthopedics doctor. Hope you feel better
