What Is The Suggested Treatment Of Ligament Tear After Injury?

Hi, I fell on top of my left foot about 10 days ago. The doctor said I tore small legaments, Xrays did not show any broken bones. However at the top of the arch on the inside of my foot there is a hard bump that hurts to touch. Wondering what it could do and what I can do further than RICE to help it heal.

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

Thanks for writing to us,

I have studied your case with diligence.
It can be due to soft tissue injury or ligament injury around foot.
Strictly follow limb elevation, so that foot swelling gets reduced.
For these symptoms enzyme chymotrypsin and anti-inflammatory can be started.

Till time take medication and apply crepe bandage over foot or use supportive splint. Do ice fomentation and rest to foot.

If pain persists you may need MRI, you can consult your doctor and do required investigation.

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.

Take care.
