Very painful heel!!!!!?!

Question: Very painful heel!!!!!?

I was skiing and I hit a jump but I smashed my heel. The doctor said that my heel was probably just bruised but I went for an xray anyways. There was nothing wrong( came back negative) and my heel is still very painful. I'm in the same amount of pain as when I first hit it. Oh and it's been over a week wth no improvement. What the he'll is wong with me. I need to walk because I'm at school and crutches aren't an option. Any suggestions? Thanks a lot !

You could have torn something. A simple MRI will tell more. You should call your doctor back and inform him that there hasn't been any improvement. With continued pain and no improvement an MRI should show more as to where/why the pain is coming from.

Well i think you have to consult your doctor again..Still i would like to suggest you some precautions like some exercises that stretch out the calf muscles and give quite relief from pain.Avoid going barefoot.Put ice pack on heel as well as wear supportive shoes.Place pads in shoes for softness.
Also take care f that if you are overweight then try to reduce it, because it will also affect on pain.
You can consult your doctor but follow these treatment options also..it will surely help you to reduce heel pain at some extent....
