What Is The Treatment For Pain In The Ankle And Feet?

Hi doctor, I had met with a bike accident around 3 months back. 1 metatarsal got fractured and another one got injured. I had undergone conservative treatment. Now I still have pain when I was at my ankle and under my feet where the metatarsal is. What must be the reason I am still facing this.?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I had gone through your medical complaints and got a clear idea about your anxiety. It was a bad thing to meet with an accident but the good thing is escaped with minor injuries.
Coming to your case any fracture commonly shows signs of swelling and pain. But the pain will be limited up to healing of fracture. If pain persists for long time, we can suspect some mal union or non union. This may occur due to different reasons.

It is better to go for the following investigations
1. x ray metatarsals
2. serum calcium levels
3. complete blood picture

Coming to treatment part:
1. restrict movements
2. reduce weight pressure on 1st metatarsal
3. use NSAIDS
4. use pain killer sprays.

Hope you will act according to the above information and recover soon.
