General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Welcome at HCM
I have gone through your and being your physician i completely understand your health concerns.
For how long u are suffering from it? any other associated problem? is there any abnormality of foot associated?
is there any history of trauma? are you in extreme pain? have u done x ray?
In my opinion u should meet an ORTHOPEDIC SURGEON so that you can be examined approriately, you need to get an X RAY of the affected limb to make a diagnosis.
Meanwhile stay calm and avoid any vigorous activity and don't try to put wt. on the affected limb.
use acetaminophen to relieve pain along with the TAB DANZEN DS two times daily on full stomach
Meet your ORTHOPEDIC SURGEON..
get well soon
Hope your query is adequately addressed if you still have any feel free to ask
Regards
