Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns
You have a hematoma of bruise on your heel. This type of injury especially on the heel will take several weeks to resolve. Time is the only treatment to allow for healing. You can try elevating your leg and using heat but that would not hastening the healing. It will help some of the pain and allow you to return to regular activities a little sooner.
Swelling from fluid is different but again it will take time for it to resolve if it from trauma. The swelling can be reduced also with elevating your leg and using compression bandage. It should take a week to reduce in size.
