Hello,

Generally, mildly displaced and undisplaced fracture calcaneum are treated conservatively with plaster cast. Until and unless there is severe joint involvement, most of calcaneal fracture pain go away with in 12-18 months. If pain is continue to there then fusion of joint is only option. Till then you should do following to have relief:
- Do warm water fomentation for at least three times a day
- Use soft heel insole in shoes
- Take intermittent analgesic medicine
- Take help of a physiotherapist for relief

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
