Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
When I awakened this morning, my right foot twisted,with the instep moving upward. When I stood up, I could only stand on the outside of the foot, i couldnT angle the sole down.It was temporiarily tilted to the left. for about one minute.
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
A foot sprain is an injury to the ligaments in your foot. It is caused by a sudden activity that twists or tears a ligament. For example, it might happen if you stumble on an uneven surface, land awkwardly from a jump, or kick an object that doesn't move easily. Symptoms may include pain. I suggest using painkillers such as Ibuprofen. I also suggest to maintain the foot immobilized.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
Dr.Dorina Gurabardhi General &Family Physician
