Suggest Treatment For Foot Injury
Question: I have a foot injury. I think it is a bruised bone and/or bruised muscle. Woke up yesterday morning with my foot bothering me, like it was sprained. Discovered what I think is wrong by usual method, by moving hand around on foot. Injury is on left foot on the I side about 2 inches from heel. How do I treat it to make it feel a little better. Heat or cold.?.
Brief Answer:
Cold compress will help.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The presence of bruise suggests internal bleeding and hematoma. Application of ice will help but you need to get an X-ray done to rule out any stress fracture. Do get a pain killer prescribed after getting it examined by an orthopedician.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
