Severe pain in right leg heel
Since Feb 2020, I had severe pain in right leg heel (sole only) whenever i woke up or got up after sitting for few hours. It was fine at other times. The pain used to vanish after dipping leg in hot water but would be back when stopped.
Recently, it started hurting all the times. It is difficult to walk now as the pain is constant and spread to all around heel (sole, ankle, and around).
Please suggest some remedy.

You probably have plantar fascitis. Physiotherapy and wearing footwear with soft sole may help. Plantar fascitis may be associated with arthritis (Ankylosing Spondylitis) and other medical conditions as well.
Next Steps
if your pain isn't resolving, consult a Rheumatologist

The problem seems to be fitting into diagnosis of plantar fascitis. The main treatment is foot intrinsic muscle exercises and change of footwear. Sometimes arthritis might be reason for your plantar fascitis
