A member asked:

What to do if i injured my heel and its swollen?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends...: What happened? How long has it been? Past treatments? What makes it hurt more?....Hard to answer this without more information. Ice, rest and NSAIDS. If no better in 1-2 weeks, have it checked by a Podiatrist.
