Is fracture boot best for calcaneal stress fracture?

[@jlm3303]

I suffered an open compound calcaneus fracture a month ago... Fall from a scaffold.. By far the VERY WORST PAIN I've ever experienced in 56 years.. You do not want this injury!!!

Thank you for sharing your story with others. Heal that heel fast!

Thanks for the idea that avoiding walking on it will promote faster heel healing. That seems completely reasonable to take all the stress off the heel so it can heal up without any added stress…I will talk to my orthopedist and podiatrist.

Help! I am suspecting I have calcaneal stress fracture in both heels. I am not a runner. I am female, 58, and on my feet a lot doing various activities such as gardening and chores and I have stairs in my house. What do I do? A boot? Both feet hurt at the heel and edge of heel on outer side. I believe this is from my DB method squat machine in fall of 2022. Pain got worse all year during 2023. My pain doctor treated with PRP shots and suspected tendonitis but I am not better. I suspect now it is from my excecise machine that put strain and weight bearing on my heels simultaneously in fall of 2022 and it was a new exercise and I over did it over a 6 week period. How do I deal with both feet in pain and stay off both feet and still do my daily necessities? Husband travels. No one to help me.
