Suggest Treatment For Soreness And Pain In The Foot

I fell last May and rolled both ankles. I was wearing wedge heels. I am overweight as well. The top of my left toe and foot are still quite sore and I experience sharp pain as I walk. For two days my right ankle severely hurts at the top of my foot whenever I bend to push off walk. My right ankle and leg are shiny. I have had x-rays and they show no hairline fracture. I ice and elevate when I can. Why is this taking so long to heal?

Hello,

Thanks for writing to us,

I have studied your case with diligence.
As per your history pattern there can be persistent tear in ankle ligament leading crunching sound or capsular tightness.Along with this there can be foot arthritis.

I will advise to do MRI ankle for soft tissue involvement.
Till time you can continue physiotherapy exercises and also use supportive splint or brace.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and TENS will help in early healing.
Weight reduction will also help.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.
