A member asked:
Why does my broken calcaneus (heel bone) hurt more when elevated?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unusual...: It is unusual for this fracture to hurt more when elevated. Perhaps elevating it causes the fracture fragments to shift which in turn causes pain. If this continues see your ortho md.
