Suggest Treatment For Swelling In Foot After Treated Fracture

I broke two bones on the side of my foot, the cast was removed two weeks ago. (9 weeks since the brake to date). Able to walk although the swelling dose not go done and I am not able to bend my toes up to push off as I walk. Is this normal and will take time or am I being impatient?

Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I concluded that you are having post fracture stiffness. It is normal to have some stiffness after fracture.Treatment of it is mobilisation exercises of foot and toes. Keeping the limb over the pillow is helpful in reducing the swelling. You should avoid keeping the limb dependent for longer times. You can discuss your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then please don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. You can also write to me directly on below link:
