The most common condition that causes the bottom of heel pain is plantar fasciitis. In this ailment, the major fasciitis ligament on the bottom of your foot is damaged. Pain in the back of your heel typically results from Achilles tendonitis that occurs when the Achilles tendon that runs from your heel up through the back of your ankle becomes inflamed or ruptured.

When one area of your foot is injured or stressed, pain tends to run through the rest of your foot, including your heel. Other foot conditions that lead to pain in the heel of a foot include:
Tumors
Tarsal tunnel syndrome
Bursitis
Birth defects
Heel spurs
Infections
