How long does it take to recover from a heel injury?

Heel contusion may be an injury to the Achilles tendon soft tissue. You can go to the hospital first. As long as there is no fracture and the problem is not too serious, it will take about two months to slowly return to normal. You can soak your feet in hot water every day, and take oral anti-inflammatory drugs. Raise the affected limb appropriately when sleeping, avoid walking and standing for long periods of time, and as long as you recover to normal, there will be no sequelae. The specific treatment plan and treatment time have been written below.

Heel pain is caused by heel spurs, plantar fasciitis, damage and tearing of the Achilles tendon due to exercise, decreased elasticity of the heel pad in middle-aged and elderly people, incomplete development of the heel of the foot in adolescents, excessive load on the heel due to weight, long-term standing and walking at work, long-term wearing of high heels, etc. The ultimate result is: it is due to aseptic inflammation inside the heel and weakened local circulation.

1. Stop the heel sting. With continued stinging, the body will not recover and the irritation will be severely aggravated internally.

2. Restore local circulation at the heel tip, accelerate nutrient absorption and waste excretion, and thus strengthen muscles and bones.

3. Repair the aseptic inflammation that causes heel pain, thereby achieving the purpose of solving heel pain.

First, you need to go to the hospital for an Achilles tendon MRI to see the extent of the Achilles tendon injury. Then determine the treatment measures based on the specific injury. This requires more rest and less strenuous activity. You can take Panax notoginseng injury capsules orally for treatment. Because the blood circulation in the lower limbs is poor, the healing will be slower. The specific recovery time depends on the extent of the injury.

1. Oral medication

Oral medications must first be absorbed and metabolized, and it is difficult for them to reach the extremities, increasing the burden on the liver and kidneys.

2. Closed

The blocking injection is to inject anesthetic drugs of different concentrations into the painful area. It is expensive but has only a short-term effect.

3. Hospital surgery

Removal of bone spurs or inflamed Achilles tendons will result in 2-3 months of bed rest and a high recurrence rate.

4. Other patches

Heel pain is a sterile inflammation, and patches for the rehabilitation of rheumatic paralysis have no obvious effect.

5. Inflammation

Acupuncture and massage can actually aggravate internal inflammation when aseptic inflammation occurs, and are not suitable for most heel pains.
