Please see the detailed answer below...
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through your query and I understand your concern..
As per your history you have a muscle sprain...
Also let me know if you have swelling and inflammation at the site?
In case of fracture usually there is swelling or odema at the site.
For that you need to consult with an orthopedic doctor..he will take x ray of the site and confirm whether it's fracture or not...
Till then you can take Tab ..Flexon MR to relive pain. And can apply diclofenac gel or spray at the site. You can also use ankle brace or crepe bandage to give support to the joint. It needs to rest completely. Management is usually same for both fracture and sprain unless the fracture is not minor and needs pop brace by the orthopedic.
Do ice packs locally.
Keep your self well hydrated..
Take rest..do not strain the joint.
Hope this helps..
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care.
Regards,
Dr Shyam Kale

Hello,
Thank you for your reply.
As per your history, you are having swelling over shin area and pain in foot also.
In that view, first I would suggest you to consult with orthopaedic surgeon. He may advise x ray to rule out fracture.
If there is no fracture, then continue medication and crepe bandage as advised earlier and take proper rest for complete recovery.
Recovery time will be depend upon the severity of the injury which can be assessed after doing x ray.
In case of swelling, I would not suggest long walking during trip otherwise it may worsen.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
