Suggest Remedy For Leg Pain Caused By Injury

My husband was out walking and stepped hard onto a rock. Since then his heal and arch has been hurting. He went to his physician and was sent for xrays which came back negative. His physician is out of the office today. Is there something he can to do to relieve the pain?

he should try to get an MRI to confirm cause of pain. Motrin can be used for antiinflammation. otherwise he can get Voltaren gel, or Bengay cream. he should ice his foot and wrap it tight for immobilization. you may even benefit from crutches so he's non weightbearing.
