Well, I'll pipe in and suggest looking up plantars fascitis. I hope it's spelled right, but it's enough to get somewhere. That is also a horrible, painful, "bottom of the foot" and going to or from the heal.
If this sounds familiar, after reading about it, reflexology is the best. Does someone own a foot water jet? If not, just an old bucket will do. Soak in super cheap Epson salt, and then have a Reflexology book (checked out from the library or bought at 1/2 price books), and ask a dear friend, or spouse to start working. If your spouse is not available, or you don't have one, then that is where "best friends or moms" are glad to help. Hopefully, you have taken Lamaze, because whoever is "helping" you MUST not listen to you and feel sorry for you enough to stop. Remember, you just said that touching your foot on the floor was awful. lol Sometimes the persons fingers get tired, so using the end of a wooden spoon is helpful. Or "nobbles" can be ordered or bought in places that sell massage and spa items. I have felt your pain, and finally had to fix it myself. :)
Don't be afraid to soak in teas that relax...they must work, because that's what I have to do before reflexology, and I'm almost zonked. Putting a slice of lemon and a "squirt" will usually kill any bacteria that you brought home with you. :) What you put on your feet DOES go through your system. Reflexology has been proven, but I have proven it for myself. (It possibly saved my life by being sent to a dr. because of concern of constant painful spots in a certain area.!!) Most things are simple, but continued pain in areas or points of your feet is something to research.....just in case.
But " ball of the heel" issues are typically Plantars fascitis. Good luck, and hope you are "back on your feet" again, feeling great!
