Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My mom has broken both ankles and shattered a heal. She is in boots. 8 weeks non-load bearing. Percocet low dose has stopped working and advil seemed to be working well. Now they say no advil with the heparin blood thinners she s on. No Advil? Seems to be all that s working.
As you already consulted with orthopedician for an ankle fracture. Kindly continue the medications as advised. Don't put much strain over that. You can use support stick and do regular follow up with orthopedician. For pain, you can take tablet Aceclofenac after consultation. Take calcium-rich diet like ragi and milk products which help in better healing.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shyam B. Kale,
General & Family Physician
