I injured my foot and ankle at work today. Injury involved sudden twisting. Now quite painful to move big toe and second toe; swelling and pain in instep and low and mid ankle, and cannot bear weight on foot. Pain does not diminish with elevation and ice. Pain has also increased during last 6 hours since injury.
Hello, Thanks for writing to us, I have studied your case with diligence. Persistent foot pain may not be normal. I will advise you to use splint support for ankle and foot for 2 weeks. Physiotherapy like ultrasound and TENS will help in early healing of torn ligament. I will advise doing MRI foot for soft tissue involvement if pain remains persistent. Till time, you can continue physiotherapy and also use supportive splint or brace. You can start tab tender for early healing of ligament consulting your doctor. Wishing you good health.
