How Can I Reduce Pain In My Toes?

Hi. During my softball game today I rolled my ankle. It s not swollen, but when I try to raise my toes or turn my foot I experience pain. I have my foot raised and it feels like there is cold water inside the afflicted area. What should I do to treat it?

Hello,

With the mentioned history it appears to me as an ankle sprain. Just don't get to much panic its a small and common thing in any sports.

Just put your feet in hot water and do some slow low-intensity ankle and toe movements.

Post which keeps the leg elevated over the pillow and do again the ankle toe movements,

If movement is painful to use crepe bandage and immobilize the ankle and the feet. It will give additional support to the muscles which have gone weaker due to the rolling of the ankle.

You should be fine in some days.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
