Detailed Answer:
Hi there

Thanks for the query,

Are you able to put weight on that limb and walk ?

It's possible that you may have sustained trauma to the sort tissues in that region.

Please keep the limb elevated, apply ice to the affected regions 5 times a day, take Tablet Ibuprofen 400mg twice a day for 5 days after food and Tablet Omeprazole 20mg twice a day before meals for 5 days. If you can't put weight on that limb, please get X-ray of the affected region to confirm the extent of the injury.

I hope I have answered your query.

I will be available to answer your follow up queries.

Regards,

Dr. Aashish Raghu
