Heel Injuries?

What injuries can be obtained to the heel? I was doing acrobatic moves (cart wheels, hand springs ect.) and I slammed my heel againsted the ground. What possible things could have happened? The floor it hit it on was very hard, and it hurt badly. It is now 1 day later, and it is still painful.

Could be a heel fracture, bruised bone, bruised tendon, pulled tendon. Your best bet is to go to the dr to make sure there is no fracture.

It sounds like a contusion which should resolve in a few days ... of course it could also be a calcaneal fracture. The only way to be sure it to be evaluated by your doctor and get an x-ray.

Your heel may be broken or you may have done some tendon damage. I managed to damage my Achilles tendon after a fall when my foot slammed into the ground - I wasn't doing anything acrobatic though, just tripping up.
