Suggest Remedy For Extreme Pain In Foot Post An Injury
My friend is in really bad pain right now. She bumped the top of her foot on this giant drill that you dill in the ground to put post in for a fence. Any way that happened like 3 hours ago but now she is in such pain. She can't walk on it. She is in tears. What could it be? She said she barely bumped it? I have asked her to go to the hospital, but she won't...not yet anyway. So I'm looming it up on the internet. Can you advise? Thank you. Judy

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have extreme pain in foot post an injury . Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to many reasons , but in your case the symptoms probably due to soft tissue injury like muscle , tendon or ligament tear . There is also a possibility of bone fracture like green stick fracture . I would suggest you to consult doctor without any delay and to prevent it from infection . Clean the area with betadine or hydrogen peroxide and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain . Doctor may give painkiller infection and fix the foot with plaster or splint an prescribe antibiotics .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
