What do I do about a pain in the heel of my foot?

I was walking without shoes last night and stepped on a rock with my heel. The heel of my foot started hurting and I couldn't put any weight on it for the rest of the night. Today there is a bump where I stepped on the rock, which I assume is due to swelling. It doesn't hurt unless I put weight on it. What happened and what can I do to help it heal faster?

It sounds like that rock put a very deep bruise in your heel. I agree with the icepack/pain killer suggestion.
