Suggest Treatment For Ankle Pain Caused Due To Fracture
Good evening, I fractured my talus bone in my ankle four weeks ago. I have been in a cast for three weeks and the last couple of days have been really painful. Tonight, I'm seriously uncomfortable and the ankle is burning hot, very tingly. I also suffer with psoriatic arthritis and the cast also feels quite tight. Could anymore please advise.
HI Welcome to healthcaremagic After going through your query I concluded that your cast may be tight. This may be causing pain and swelling causing it little uncomfortable. I think you can remove your cast and if needed you can apply a new slightly loose cast.For pain relief you can take analgesic such as ibuprofen. condition of fracture can be seen by x-ray ankle joint AP and lateral view. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it.Hope I have answered your query.If you have any further questions then don't hesitate to writing to us . I will be happy to help you.
