many years ago I fractured (shattered my heel) and did damage to my ankle causing 30% loss of range. This has been painful but I ve become accustomed to it. on thing I have had has been increase pain and discoloration (bruising) on outside of foot. This can be steady pain if moving. recently it has started feeling almost like a burning even at rest.

Hi,
In shattered calcaneus bone there are bony spicules on the outside which may be causing pressure / stretching on the nerves leading to a burning sensation. Another possibility could be slipped disc. Please consult any orthopedic surgeon for proper examination, diagnosis and treatment.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
