Suggest Remedy For Pain And Soreness At The Top Of My Foot

I kicked a stationary object yesterday and the top of my foot has been hurting ever since..it hurts to walk without any shoes on but when I put a shoe on it feels a bit better.. There isn t a ton of swelling, although there is some and there is little bruising. It hurts to point my toes up and down in about the middle of my foot..any suggestions as to what I should do?

Hi,

Apply cold pack over the injured part (as upto 48 hours cold pack is helpful in reducing pain and swelling). Use crepe bandage over ankle, take relative rest (walk only if necessary). Sit with knees straight with a pillow under your ankle to knees to decrease swelling. You can also apply any pain relieving spray/gel. Wait for 2 to 3 days, your pain should subside by then. If you still experience pain, do visit an orthopedician as you may require medical assistance.
Avoid climbing stairs and take rest.

Hope you find the answer useful. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Harsh Swarup
