Why Do My Heels Hurt After Jumping from a High Place?

Update Date: Source: Network

Jumping from a height and experiencing heel pain may be due to a bone crack or fracture. You can go to the hospital for an X-ray examination to see if there is a problem with the bone. You can relieve the pain by applying ice. Jumping from a height is a very dangerous behavior that can easily lead to injury, so it should not be attempted lightly.

1. Jumping from a height and experiencing heel pain may cause local damage or fracture. It is recommended to go to the hospital for an X-ray examination to exclude the possibility of a fracture. Avoid sports and strenuous activities, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, eat less stimulating foods, rest more, and avoid long-term fatigue.

2. Heel pain after jumping from a height is usually related to soft tissue injury, Achilles tendon rupture, and fracture. The affected area may also show symptoms such as swelling and limited movement.

3. When jumping from a height, the degree of damage to the heel depends on factors such as the patient's weight, jumping height, bone condition, shoe performance, and the way the foot lands. If there is severe pain or obvious swelling after the injury, timely application of ice can reduce the release of inflammatory factors, alleviate pain and swelling, and simultaneously determine whether there is a calcaneal fracture or Achilles tendon injury. If the pain is not severe and there is no obvious swelling, observation without weight bearing can be performed.
