How To Treat Discomfort In Toe Caused After Injury?
today I went off a rope swing into a pool, the water wasn't very deep and I landed on the side of my foot. The doctor said it is just a sprain but I feel cracking when I put weight on it, and can't move my 3rd 4th and pinky toe. Could you tel me why this could be? Thank you
The symptoms as mentioned in your post can be attributed to musculo-skeletal injury. X ray of the foot can be done to rule out any fracture or bone chip.
Symptomatic relief can be obtained by application of ice, analgesic & muscle relaxant gel, intake of analgesics like Diclofenac (to be taken after food) + Pantoprazole (to be taken 30 minutes before meals). Supplements of Calcium & Vitamin D can be included in your diet which will help in strengthening of bones.
There is no need to worry, you will be fine. Till then, maintain adequate hydration & nutrition status, take proper rest and avoid stress.
Wishing you a Good Health. Take care.
