A heel fracture may not allow normal walking at forty-five days. If the symptoms of the heel fracture are mild and the recovery and care are good, the patient may be able to get out of bed at forty-five days, but may not be able to walk normally. The recovery period for a heel fracture is about three months to six months, which is longer. If the patient goes down to the ground to move will cause more pressure on the heel bone, improper activities will cause secondary damage to the heel bone. After forty-five days or so, the patient can exercise on the ground, but the time should not be too long and the amount of exercise should not be huge. In the process of exercise, the patient should stop the activity when the fracture site feels pain, and lie down on the bed to rest. You can also put plasters on the fracture site to help reduce pain by activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis, reducing swelling and relieving pain. If the fracture site is swollen after activity, the patient can apply hot compresses to the fracture site. Hot compresses are usually applied for about thirty minutes, which is good for eliminating the swelling.
