My 13 year old grandaughter has just found out she had a broken bone in her foot that has fused. It was not xrayed 2/3 years ago. It has never been right and she always has some pain and discomfort - what will the consultant do please. She dances, ballet, tap etc.
Consultant at his best can advise operating. But if the deformity is not likely to affect her future, please avoid operation. For pain if you give her Turmeric powder 1/2 tsp in warm milk or warm water every day, she will start recovering from pain, sprain, internal trauma, any other cause of pain in foot. Its safe, side effect less and can be taken for long duration. You may even apply turmeric on foot after mixing in clarified butter. It's a good application to remove pain, swelling, inflammation etc. But it stains the fabric. So be careful. Orally Shirt capsule or Aha GGUL tablet can be obtained (common in India) 1BD for 4 weeks. It will benefit her 100%.
