Pain Is Your Guide: A bruise should be improving after 8 days. That said, if you haven't tried this already, you can try icing your heels and take Motrin or Aleve (naproxen) as directed. If there is no improvement in pain in the next 24-48 hrs with these interventions I would suggest urgent care evaluation for exam and possible x-rays.

See doctor : It is possible to fracture your heel. If you still can't walk you need an xray
