How Safe Is Taking Ibuprofen For Pain In Foot?
Good evening,
20 days ago I dropped a 25kg weight disk on the top of my foot. It was very painful and bruised where the impact was and on the inside of my foot. I did not go to A&E for xray as I have broken my other foot only 6 months prior and the paid was not as bad as that time and also if broken I assume they will not do anything anyway like the last time.
As it is now three weeks on, I still have paid in the foot and it hurts when I walk. Should I go to hospital for xray or continue to take Ibruprofen for a few more weeks?
