How Can Pain In Foot Caused From Having Twisted The Ankle Be Treated?

Hello, I fell and somehow twisted my foot. My ankle does hurt, but the top part of my foot hurts and cannot bend the foot without it being painful. It has been almost a week and I cannot walk correctly, still limping because it hurts to walk on my foot. But it has gotten better as the days pass. It hurts more in the morning after getting out of bed.

Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

After twisting your ankle and foot, chances are you have ligament injuries and the possibility of fractures in small bones of the foot may be there, which needs to be ruled out.

Considering all such possibility, you are advised to consult an orthopaedic expert to get it assessed clinically and X-ray's to rule out fracture. accordingly, treatment will vary from splinting to pop or surgery.

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

Take care
