Foot injuries?

My Son fell off a roof and hurt the bottom of his foot on the the heel.
The tendions are very sore and swollen.
He went to the Doctor but he was not much help.
Any suggestions on how to relieve the pain.
Hot or Cold or anything else?

heat. and rub the tendons. it will hurt but it will feel better in the long run.
did he get it x-rayed?
if not i suggest you go get it x-rayed. he could have fractured it.
(not all fractures leave you screaming bloody murder)
tell him to stay off of it as much as possible.
and probably find a new doctor.

Use ice - cryotherapy. And... find a new doctor.

Best wishes and good luck.
