Re: broken heel recovery

do they make a temp air cast to help aid in walking with a stress fracture of the calceneus (heel) bone.
been about 6 wekks and still cannot walk pain free.
crutches are "getting old"
what type of air cast can I wear in aiding the recovery.

p.s. hockey starts in a couple weeks and golf has hurt too much to enjoy as of late.

this air force veteran would like sme kind of sports aid that keep me in tthe game yet aid in the healing process.

Aircast Cryo/Cuff system applies controlled safe compression to minimize hemarthrosis and swelling, and cold to minimize pain. Its simplicity makes it ideal for the ER, post-op, training room and home.
