How do you know if your growth plate is broken?
Usually if you go to get x-rays your doctor will tell you whether or not its broken. Some things you should know if it is broken are (i know this because I am in a aircast right know because I have a broken growth plate in my ankle). So first it would be helpful if I knew where you think your growth plate is broken. So here are some things you should know; -if it is broken and it is your ankle or heel, you will most likely be put into a aircast -go to the doctor asap because I waited two weeks and it got worse -you should go to a orthopedic doctor before or after so he can tell you whats wrong etc. -and stay off it as much as possible (I thought I sprained my ankle so I was on crutches for a week, and they helped)

Hit heel bone on pool bottom cannot bear weight on heel- what did i hurt?
I had a heel bruise(policemans heel) caused by a slip on the ice in December 2008, I had it xrayed the following day. I was told it was not fractured and given Ultram. I still have the Ultram, being that it did not improve the condition. It was a difficult period for 2 months, it was about a week ago the pain stopped, this being the date of 3-29-09. The suggestion I have if not fractured is an aircast or thick cushioned shoes. A cane will help also, you can buy one for under 20 at most stores. I did not stay off of the foot until it was at the point I could not walk, which was about every 3 minutes at the start. Then 5, 6, 7, 20, until it healed. Do have anything in pain xrayed too rule out the possibility of a fracture.
