Q: Heel Pain

I'm a runner and I bruised the fleshy part of my heel. I've stopped running and walking and am doing my best to rest it. What composes the bottom of the foot? Did a bruise ligaments? Is rest best?

Heel Pain

Are you sure you bruised your heel? I run and had the same feeling, however, it was planter faciitis. I got orthodics and would warm the foot up before I ran and iced after even though the doctor recommended rest. It did take about 6 months to go away.
