If you broke your heel bone, you should have a cast around your foot. If you don't and you have swelling still it may just be too much ice or too much pressure. If you do have a cast, it could just be irritated from it and not being able to walk on it, the blood doesn't go there as much, if you were using it. Also there could be an infection of some sort if swelling doesn't go down in next 24 hours go visit your doctor.

Happy Healing.

It usually doesn't take long for swelling to go down. Make sure you are icing it though to make the swelling go down- or it won't.
