Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case.

X ray foot will help in diagnosis.
There is possibility of injury to calcaneal bone due to fall from height.
Shoe/footwear should be with soft sole. You can use silicon pad insoles.
You should not walk bare foot at home also.
Avoid exposure of cold to foot.
Start plantar exercises consulting physiotherapist also Physiotherapy like TENS and ultrasound will help. Take calcium supplement with vit D.

You can use supportive splint till further investigation.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
