Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
After a calcaneum fracture, a mild inflammation may persist after healing which is causing you the pain.
You can use a soft sole shoe, do a light massage under your foot on getting up and consider taking steroid injections locally if the pain is severe.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
