I banged the heel of my foot two times when i had my Ugg boots on, on Tuesday. About half an hoir later i had pain in my heel and was limping. I was on the phone and was just alerting the kids in the room beneath coz they were loud, lol!

My son saw GP Wednesday so i mentioned my foot and he said he was abit concerned as i am underweight so my bones are weaker. I took myself to A&E. They examined me and put it down to bruising, because i was able to move my foot and balance on that foot.

Yesterday I thought it felt abit better, but today it is alot worse, really hurts like a sharp feeling?? When i walk on it. The dr said the heel is very cushioned so unlikely i broke it, it hurts just on the inside of the heel.

How long should bruising hurt for? How long should I wait before going back to GP/hospital?

I'd give it a week, bruising can really hurt. Unlikely you broke it by banging it, and like they said at the hospital, if you can move it and stand on it, it's not likely to be broken.
