How can i tell if i broke my heel?

Xray or CT scan: A broken heel or calcaneus is best diagnosed with rays. Many show up on a series of plain xrays, others are more subtle and may require a ct scan or and mri. Clinical signs are pain in heel on weight bearing, swelling , bruising and deformity with painful motion (inversion/eversion).

X-rays will show: A fracture almost all of the time. Heel fractures typically involve a significant injury, so if you don't recall anything major, your heel pain may have a different cause.

Xray: Or CT scan or MRI can all be helpful.....
