Suggest Treatment For Hairline Fracture On Heel Bones

Hi, I got a hairline fracture on my heel bone which i got by jumping down from a wall and landing on my heels. I consulted an Orthopedic and he prescribed some calcium tabs and pain killers which i have run out of. And he asked me to wear a crepe bandage and walk on my toes. It has been almost 5 weeks now and the pain is going away slowly. As to my understanding it takes 4-6 weeks to heal these kind of fractures. Should i consult another doctor or should i just wait longer?

Nothing to worry you can just wait for a couple of weeks and then report back. Give some rest to the heel bone without much of work standing / walking
