I Got Hurt In My Heel Of Left Leg As I Hit The Corner
Question: I posted this question earlier but it has been closed as I couldn't respond in time so posting it again
"
Original query
"A while back while jumping into the swimming pool I got hurt in my Heel of left Leg as I hit the corner of the pool steps after that I took a rest and it been two weeks now the pain has almost gone except for some tingling feeling when I put my feet on the ground barefoot it hurts a little also there is a heaviness and it feels the area is a bit swollen"
The doctor suggested to get X-ray but I am in a bit of a remote location and due to intense rain cannot go for an X-ray at least for one more week so wanted to check what precaution I should undertake or any medicine/ointment.
Current Status - no pain except some pressure when I put my foot on the floor barefoot
