How Can Swelling And Pain On The Feet And Toes Be Treated?

Dropped a large cabinet on my foot 7 days ago. Xrays showed no broken bones, but entire foot and toes were extremely swollen and bruised. As the swelling has gone down, but for the first time, nerve pain in my foot kept me up all night. Sharp shooting pain. Tried heating pad, hot soak, only thing that stops the shooting pains is walking (can t do that forever). What type of doctor should I see?

Hello!
You need to see an Orthopaedician.
In the meanwhile you could-

- Apply ice
- Take Thiocholcicoside + Aceclofenac BD
- T. Mecobalamin + Pregablin OD

Hope this helps! Take care! (:

PS: You could also use a crepe bandage! That will help too!
