What Is Causing Burning In The Splint After Breaking Cuboid Bone In Foot?
I have a broken left cuboid bone in my foot. I broke it about a week ago on March 18, 2014. Right now I m still in a splint until Thursday March 27, 2014 atleast. The back of my heel feels like its on fire in the splint. Nothing brings it relief. What is causing it?

Hi you are on Splint following fracture of cuboid bone. Now you have burning feeling in the back of your heel. In my opinion It is probably a pressure sore or blister. I suggest you remove Splint at once and consult your doctor as emergency since blister/ pressure sore can damage your skin.
