Hi I recently had  a MRI done on my foot, due to a fracture I had last year, but I am still having pain.   The MRI results came back with the following: Soft Tissue Edema Plantar to the 5th Metatarsophalangeal joint Hallux Valgus Deformity I was wondering about the soft tissue, how will this heal to eliminate the pain?
Hi, Thanks for contacting. Do hot and cold therapy (take one bucket of Luke warm water and one bucket of cold water, dip your leg first in hot water for 3 mins, then in cold water for one min) do it 7-10 times, apply crêpe bandage, do less walking and keep your legs elevated while lying down. Don't wear tight shoes. Avoid heel shoes and before going to sleep do light massage from toes to ankle. And do ankle movements and toes movements twice daily. Hope you will find the answer useful. Let me know if I can assist you further.
