Hello Holly

From your description it is very hard to determine what is wrong.

It definitely sounds like a bruised heel. If it's not too much of a hassle then definitely have it checked out by a doctor, but if you don't want to or can't, then follow these home remedies.

1) In general you should be completely resting your injured foot - No walking or standing at all (Use crutches if needed)

2) Ice your heel at least 4 times a day, either by applying ice directly or by rolling a frozen bottle under your heel when you sit down.

3) Take pain medication like Advil only if needed

Now, In order to understand your condition better and to give you a better diagnosis please answer these questions:

1) Is it sensitive to the touch/press on it?
2) Where exactly is the pain located in your heel?
3) Do you have high or low arches in your feet?
4) Is the pain just as bad as when you were injured or there is some improvement?
5) Is there any redness or bruising visible?
6) Can you walk on it at all?
