Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I stepped off of a rather high step and heard and felt a pop in my foot. It is extremely painful and goes from the arch of my foot traveling along the side of my foot to the top of my ankle. I am overweight and my job requires mostly standing and walking. I need to find out what this is and what I can do to treat it.
Consult an orthopedic and get evaluated to rule out tendon or ligament injury. As a first line of management you can take analgesics like Acetaminophen or Tramadol for pain relief. Wishing you good health.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain
