Suggest Treatment For Tender Foot And Swelling On Ankles
Question: I have swelling behind my outer ankle and top of my foot. I have a couple of very sore spots on the top of my outer foot and some bruising. I have spasms down my toes and , depending how active I am, I have pain on the outer foot ( top and bottom ) when standing on putting weight fully on foot. My cousin squeezed the last two toes on my foot and it hurt. My foot is tender but feels better after resting. Sometimes the pain level varies. Had x rays but nothing showed... I dropped a large bottle of juice on my foot a while ago. Pain gradually got worse as time went on. What's going on ?

Detailed Answer:
Dear Madam,
Thank you for posting your query on HCM.
Well looking into your query I will like to tell you that I think there may be some hairline fracture that could be missed on plain x rays plus ligament injury can also occur which cannot be picked on x rays . It will need physical examination of joint or MRI of ankle joint needs to be done to look for the cause .
Till then please try to give rest to your joint and immobilise it . You can also use antiinflammatories like naproxen to decrease the pain and swelling if there are no contraindications to that .
Take care.
