[|Human|] I broke my heel after falling off a ladder Nov 2006. I had surgery with a plate and 8 screws. Developed staph infection in January, had surgery to remove the hardware had a port and was on heavy antibiotics. I later developed C-diff . Eventually the pain was so bad in my heel I had it fused in 2009, still have incredible pain in my foot. Is this normal?
[|AI|]  Hello, The pain after heel fracture generally goes away after 6-8 months if all goes well but as you was first operated, and then you had infection in post-operative period. This all have made the things worse, but you should not despair. In some cases after removal of implant bone may take some time to heal itself. At present, you should take good supplements witChatDoctorbination of calcium and vitamin D. At present taking help of physiotherapist will also improve our pain. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care
