Suggest Treatment For Pain On Foot After Falling From Motorcycle
My husband recently fell on small motorcycle on grass going very slow but is complaining of foot pain. He won t go to the dr/urgent care. Initially c/o pain from ankle bone straight up but now c/o top of foot pain and there is a significant amt of swelling to top of foot as well. He is barely walking on it and utilizing my cane. I m a nurse and initially thought lisfranc. He has pain when circling foot but not unbearable. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

Hi,
Thanks for your query.
From description it seems to be soft tissue injury .
You need an x-ray to rule out any bony injury.
I suggest you to consult an orthopaedician nearby for a detailed examination. You may get the X-ray of the area affected under his/her guidance.
Beside icing and elevating it, you can take anti-inflammatory drug like motrin to reduce pain and inflammation.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
