General & Family Physician, Dr. Vasudha's Response
Hi. Thanks for the query. I understand your concern. Hitting the foot hard at the site of fracture repair by screw .. is very much likely to cause trauma/ disturbance to the screwing hold. Take rest , avoiding movements of foot. Application of Ice pack will relieve pain & inflammation. Over the counter pill of Ibuprofen can be taken after food. X ray of foot only can define the type & extent of the harm made . Pl. consult your orthopedic surgeon. Thanks.
