If the fracture is not out of position, a simple cast may be sufficient for treatment. If the fracture is out of position, then surgery may be recommended to realign the broken bones, and stabilize them with screws or pins.
The calcaneus is the bone in the back of the foot, commonly referred to as the heel bone. Calcaneus fractures are almost always the result of high-energy injuries. They usually occur as a result of a fall from a height, such as falling from a ladder.
I have been diagnosed with severe crush injury with multiple fractures to my left foot and crush injury and fractured ankle on the right. I have drove my self crazy trying to second guess my Dr because he says that there isnt anything he can do about the left foot and thr right foot he put a screw in the ankle but other than that there is nothing that can be done. I also have the pain that you speak of and the swelling at night.
I broke my tibia and fibula on oct 10th/2010, and had surgery, and plates and screws put in on both bones. It is now january 6th/2011.

She was told in Casualty that there was tissue damage and damage to the tendons but no apparent broken bones. A few days later when some of the swelling subsided she began to walk on it. It ached but every so often she got a sharp piercing pain on the top; and underneath her foot. From the point of impact to her 2nd toe she could feel something like a very thin raised matchstick.

I had a loaded pellet (approx 500kg) dropped on my foot by a forklift. No bones were broken but the pain causes me to cry, it is so severe.
Much of the time my foot has a mind of it's own.
I have been assessed as unemployable due to my foot injuries.
Much of the time the foot and ankle are icy cold and most foot ware is near impossible to wear.
I have been told I will have to have my foot amputated sooner than later.
I have health issues, but am in relatively good condition. It took several months for my broken bones to heal enough to get out of the boot I had to wear. It had little to do with my overall health, which is good - apparently, my bones don’t heal quickly. Of course, slower healing is one of the unfortunate issues we deal with as we get older. We simply don’t tend to bounce back like we used to.
The paddle crushed my foot right behind the ball of my foot and then folded and streched my foot down and into the shaft. I watched my foot and ankle stretch out unbeliveably far. I managed to get out after it tore my boot in half. I had amazingly had not broken bones and no torn tendons. The doctor said I shredded the "sleeves" around the tendons. I also had pretty bad laceration across the top of my foot that took 2.5 months to close and I am at 3.5 months now.
Soft tissue injuries can hurt worse and take longer to heal than broken bones because we tend to keep using the injured body part. Did your doctor give you instructions like taking over-the-counter meds such as Advil or Aleve and using ice to keep the swelling down? It might be helpful to ask your doctor for a boot cast anyway just to keep it immobilized for a while while the tissues heal.
I fell off of a platform, which is about 6 feet high. Landed on my left foot and right heel. It hurt immediately and has hurt since (it's now the third day after the injury). It's getting slightly better every day - meaning that I am able to put more and more weight on it. There is slight bruising on the outside / right side of my right foot. No bruising on the back of the heel, the bottom, or the left. There was very little bruising around the ankle, but there is none now.
What treatment did you have for the broken fingers? Splinting with buddy tape? Cast?
Stiffness is normal after any injury especially a fracture. If you had proper treatment I would feel comfortable telling you to exercise your hand. Squeeze a rubber ball or silly putty. Do stretches of you fingers pulling them back to just past the point of stiffness then forward.
If you didnt' have treatment and a follow up xray to confirm healing, I would get that done first.
Then later on he could barely walk on the foot and now it is a little swollen an it is burised on the side, but my main concern is there appears to be a knot or large bump of some kind on the side/bottom of his foot. Do you think his foot is broken?? I am debating between going to the emergency room or waiting till morning and going to the doctor, so any fast help would be nice. Thanks very much!
