Suggest Remedies For Sprained Left Knee And Foot
Question: My daughter stepped into a hole while running and twisted her left knee and sprained her left foot. She can't bend her knee or put weight on her leg. There is a small amount of swelling on the outside of her left knee and it is blue with bruising. It hurts to touch it. Also the outside of her left foot is bruised and it also hurts to touch it.
Brief Answer:
She is having soft tissue injury at knee and ankle
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have studied your case. I think your daughter had knee and ankle injuries. I would suggest you to follow these steps.
1.Ice fomentation and compression bandage.
2.Get x ray of the knee and ankle joint to see if there is any hairline fracture .
3.Tablet Advil is useful.
4.Remember if x ray is normal but pain is not controlled then you need to get MRI as some time there can be cartilage injury or ligament injury.
I hope this answer will be useful for you. Let me know if there is any other follow up questions.
thanks
