She was playing basketball and a pain shot up coming from her heel. It happened on Friday and she said it still hurts.
What to do, what to do?

Pain coming from the heal and shooting up the leg?
Hopefully just a heel bruise. Or a strained ligament.
Another possiblity is the achilles tendon has a tear.
This requires a long recovery - months.
That sympton also could indicate the sciatic nerve (runs through the spine) is pinched - sending a pain through the leg.
Treat it with both heating pad and ice bag - alternating twice each day. If it persists a few more days, I would suggest having it checked out.
Being only 11 yrs - the latter two injuries would be very unusual.
I am not a doctor, but I have experienced each of these from sports related injuries.
Good Luck - God Bless.

Not very particular, nevertheless it might be what I have. I began getting it while i used to be approximately 10 or eleven. Something referred to as Osgood-Schlatters (I consider?) I have no idea what explanations it, to be sincere i simply recognize i've it critically and the health practitioner mentioned i would possibly must have it floor down. I have lumps beneath my kneecaps. I bought it at that age and notion it was once simply knee affliction. Sorry for being somewhat indistinct, however i'm hoping i helped. xx
