Don't ignore: Hard to say without more info about your injury and level of pain.  Can take 6-12 months to heal a heel (pun intended).  Early weightbearing and range of motion are important steps to recovery.  That being said, it's probably a good idea to check in with the treating physician to ensure healing is progressing according to schedule.
