heel fracture/bruise??

[Ryan_S]

so a week ago at the spot i had to plant my right foot real hard to keep from landing a circle into a little kid's lap...instead of leading with my toes, my heel smashed into the ground, painful to say the least....it still hurts to walk on unless i try to walk on my toes more....anybody have this before?? i'm hoping it's not fractured, but there is no bruising or swelling, it just plain hurts to put pressure on....input???

your foot is gonna take alot more abuse than most , why mess around just get it checked out ..

my brother broke his heel and it's such a big dense bone it takes longer to heal then any other bone ..

i had that when i had my accident last year. i think i planted my heel when i came off the bike and besides my knee injury i had a very very sore heel for like 4 weeks. they took x rays and found no breaks or anything and its fine now but it was really fucking sore for a month, i was sure something was wrong.

I hurt my heel carrying a huge old fashioned bathtub like 2 yrs ago. never got it checked out. still hurts to walk/stand on after a few hours. Go to the doctor mang.

yup same exaxt thing happened to me-planted my heel square onto concrete-jumping off a highsided circle. very painful indeed-parts of my heel turned purple and could'nt put any weight on it.

I never got it checked out and it healed on its own but it took the good part of a week and a half to be able to put weight on it. Put some foam in the heel of your shoe to minimize impact-it helps if you work standing up or walk around a lot.

It will heal 100% in no time!

Go get it checked to be sure. Had a similar injury that I hobbled around on for weeks & ended up having some hairline fractures.

yes... DAMM tHEY HUrT!... it's a very difficult bone to break but real easy to bruise... i mean black and blue for weeks but not broken.. just have to keep it elevated and iced for days... it will heal faster but it takes a little time.. like 2 - 4 weeks for most of the pain to subside then another 3 or so weeks for 100%

i did it 3 or 4 times.. it sucks!

Grrrrr looks like I'm going to have to have it checked out, I'm so sick of x-rays and doctors

i've had a cheap fracture on the heel few years ago, first 2 docs didn't notice it, but 3rd xray sesh showed it.
Was painful but healed about quick with some rest

Back in 06 got t-boned by Suv on my 600rr & lady broke BOTH of my heel bones, as well as 4 metatarsels in right foot. It was really painful & knew right away something was broke, couldnt even stand up was crawling on hands & knees to make sure lady stopped. Was trying to get plate # incase she didn't. Like the others said go get it checked out, I have pain every day!
