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 sprained my foot last sunday. Yesterday it poped and has a burning sensation over it. Last September I sprainded it real bad, and got the results of a high sprain. It really hurts, its swollen, lightly red, and lightly bruised. Also I have had foot problems ever since I was a little girl. After all of this I can t afford to go back to the doctor. Putting ice on it makes it worse. Whats going on?
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Your symptoms seem to be related to a foot sprain. I suggest: -Stop any physical activity that causes pain, and keep your foot still when possible. -Ice your foot for 20 minutes 2 to 3 times a day. -Keep your foot raised to help keep swelling down. -Take pain medicine such as Ibuprofen if you need it.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
Dr.Dorina Gurabardhi General &Family Physician
