cracked heel
i recently fell of a roof while workin, I fell about 10 feet and landed directly on the heel of my left foot, I am not able to put any pressure on it, it only hurts when I put pressure on it. I can walk on my tippie toes with out it hurting. I was wondering how long the healing process might take, I what I could to do speed up the heeling process. I am self employed and need to get back to work as soon as possible.

ICE IT DOWN!! It is probably not broken, or standing on your tip toes would cause severe pain. You probably have a heck of a bruise to the fat pad located on the heel. Use ice, take anti-inflammatory meds if you can, and stay off of it when you can. And as long as it hurts, avoid heat (no hot soaks).
