Injured heel 2.5 weeks ago jumping 2hi down cement stairs.xray said not broken, still painful. i am a runner, very antsy. when do i c a specialist?

Heel injury: If x-rays negative, and still symptomatic, follow up with specialist for further evaluation. May need further studies such as an mri.

Now: The x-ray only told that it wasn't broken, not that there wasn't anything wrong. You should see a specialist to determine the reason for your pain. A simple contusion (bruise) would have healed by now. Something else must be wrong.

Now: If you are having pain that is not improving despite the fact that you've had negative x-rays, it is time to see a specialist who can give you a more in depth evaluation. Visit apma.Org, acfas.Org or aaos.Org for a doc near you.

Heel pain : I recommend seeing one now to determine if u need further studies. Like an mri.
