If you're out on a run, and you have heel pain that suddenly hurts a lot, you may have a calcaneal stress fracture, especially if you see bruising and swelling.
If you go see a doctor, they take an x-ray, and they don't see anything at all but they squeeze your heel and it hurts. The suspicion goes up.
If your doctor gets an MRI that shows a calcaneal stress fracture, the doctor is probably going to tell you, "you can't do anything until the stress fracture heels."
