Hello I fell down about a week ago and twisted my ankle and ruptured a vain on the top of my foot. It has been a week and my foot is still swollen and heavily bruised on one side.I can apply pressure on it and walk a few small steps but it still hurts. I went to the doctor and took some X-rays but he said I would be fine in 5 days. It s been more than that and I still can t apply almost any pressure on my foot without having help from my crutches. If anyone could give me some advise I would appreciate it. Thank you.
Hello, I read carefully your query and understand your concern. Your symptoms seem to be related to a twisted ankle. I suggest using anti-inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain. I also suggest using cold compresses for local application. Furthermore, I recommend maintaining a spilled to avoid movements of the ankle that can trigger the pain. Hope my answer was helpful. If you have further queries feel free to contact me again. Kind regards!  Chat Doctor.
