What should I do about a bruised heel bone?

Question: I went to the pool the other day, and not noticing that the depth of the pool was only 2 ft. where I was, I leaped in and landed straight on my heels. Ever since, which was about 3 days ago, my heels have been very sore and it is hard for me to walk. I'm pretty sure it's a bone bruise, but not sure what to do about it. Should I go to the doctor? What kind of things should I do to help it heal faster? How long should it take to heal? Thanks.

Answers:
Stop walking on it
