Suggest Remedy For Swelling And Pain In Leg After An Accident
Question: I kicked a door several times two nights ago, its gradually got more swollen and more painful since. I can hardly weight bare. What damage could i have done?
Brief Answer:
get yourself clinically examined and investigated by an Orthopedician.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.
After reading your post, it seems that you might be having soft tissue injury.
Painkiller like Ibuprofen twice daily after meals along with a muscle relaxant like Chloroxazon will help in controlling your symptoms. An antacid like Omeprazole 40mg once a day before meals should also be taken to avoid gastritis caused by pain killers.
Give proper rest to your foot. Hot fomentation and application of pain relieving gel locally will have added benefits.
Although it looks like soft tissue injury, I would advise that you should get yourself clinically examined and investigated by an Orthopedic surgeon. An X - Ray of foot (AP and Lateral view ) along with a clinical evaluation done by an Orthopedician will help in planning further medical management.
I hope this is helpful to you. If you have any further query, I will be happy to help.
Regards. Thanks.
