A 52-year-old man Amitji has had heel pain for 2 month. He runs approximately 25 Km weekly. The pain is most severe when he first stands up and walks after sitting or lying down. Palpation of the medial plantar surface of the heel increases the pain. He walks with a limp. Which of the following is the most likely cause of the pain?

A ) Articular cartilage degeneration of the calcaneocuboid joint

B ) Decreased peripheral vascular perfusion

C ) Impingement of the first sacral nerve root

D ) Inflammation of the origin of the plantar fascia
