A member asked:
I still have a dull dirty looking bruise on my foot where my cancelleous was broken and a bit on the toes its still a bit swollen too after 9 weeks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Calcaneus : Did you mean your calcaneus? Your calcaneus is your heel bone and when fractured can be a very serious and debilitating fracture. If it was fractured and not surgically corrected , it can take 8 weeks or more for the bone to heal and 3, 6 or even up to a year for the swelling to subside. Your findings are normal and with time you will heal. If you continue with pain you need to see your doctor.
