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

Hi,
who first suggested an x ray..
In your present condition, I suggest you use 1. pain killers and 2. crepe bandage .3.you can also use hot fomentation 4. local analgesic cream at the heels. Avoid any strain in your ankle like in running and jumping.
