I have been recovering from a calcaneal avulsion fracture in my right leg for about a year and a half now and am still experiencing deep tissue pain due to the bone bruising that was a result of the injury. I have had an mri done and the results say that the bone itself is not broken or damaged but there is some deep tissue swelling and bone bruising. The only thing the doctor told me was that i should rest and it will heal in time. However, being directly at the base of my heel it has proven quite difficult to heal. I have iced, stretched, elevated, used a boot, and bought custom orthopedics but it does not seem to be enough. I am at a point of desperation and no doctors yet have been able to provide me with a permanent solution to my problem.
