Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The pain in the heel that you are having is likely to be due to plantar fasciitis or a heel spur. After the injury the inability to bear weight and acute pain can be due to a bone injury in the area.
It is best to take rest, avoid weight bearing on the foot and consult an orthopedician for an examination and X-ray of the foot. This will help in detecting the exact cause. Till then take a mild pain killer after meals and keep the foot elevated on two pillows.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
