Hi,

I have read your query.

From your history it seems that you have tear in ligaments or some hairline fracture in bones of foot so I advise you to get MRI scan of foot with ankle dne and send me the report. Till the apply compression bandage or get plaster cast done by some doctor near by you.

Till then you can take 1 tab aceclofenac+serratiopeptidase three times a day, elevate your limb while sitting.

I hope it helps.

In future if you wish to contact me directly, you can use the below mentioned link:
