Fractures

Those people who engage in high-impact activities or work hard might be at risk of having a foot or heel fracture. In some rare cases, this problem would happen after a sudden impact or fall. Common symptoms include bruising, swelling, inability to stand on the affected foot, and severe pain. Proper treatments are necessary to prevent long-term complications. You can try a few simple home remedies, such as resting, ice, using a splint or a case, as well as taking pain medications. Keep in mind to avoid sports or activities until your heels and ankles are completely recovered. Complex fractures might require surgery. [4]
