Suggest Remedy For Twisted Ankle And Ruptured Vein On Foot

Hello I fell down about a week ago and twisted my ankle and ruptured a vain on the top of my foot. It has been a week and my foot is still swollen and heavily bruised on one side.I can apply pressure on it and walk a few small steps but it still hurts. I went to the doctor and took some X-rays but he said I would be fine in 5 days. It s been more than that and I still can t apply almost any pressure on my foot without having help from my crutches. If anyone could give me some advise I would appreciate it. Thank you.

Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

Your symptoms seem to be related to a twisted ankle.
I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain.
I also suggest using cold compresses for local application.
I recommend to maintain a spilt to avoid movements of the ankle that can trigger the pain .

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
