DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I started a running program about two months ago, but I have had to put an end to it. My right heel has become so painful that I can't walk, let alone run. It hurts most in the morning when I get out of bed and take some steps. The pain lessens but comes back later in the day. What might this be, and how can I treat it? -- W.D.
