Suggest Treatment For Sprain
My husband got a 2nd degree sprain 3.5 weeks ago. Every since, his parts of his foot and his toes feel like they are asleep. Is this normal? Also, everytime he tries to put partial weight on it, it hurts. How much pain is normal when he tries to walk? Should he continue to try to walk with pain?

Hello,
For sprain to heal soon, rest is very important. Please ask him to rest with his leg elevated, apply ice packs and crepe bandage. If the swelling or pain increases, take over the counter anti-inflammatory medication.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
