Suggest Remedies For Severe Pain In Foot Post An Injury

I got really angry and I kicked my room door. Soon after I got foot pain but I thought it was just that short lived pain after kicking the door. Now it hurts a lot, particularly around my 5th metatarsal area (where the fibularis brevis attaches I believe). It hurts especially when I get up from being seated.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,
I have gone through your query and understand your concerns.

-Rest in the early stages, rest is one of the most important component. But is often neglected or ignored. It does not only refer to the prolonged period of time that the athlete will be out of action but also to the immediate period after the injury.
-Ice therapy, also known as cryotherapy, is one of the most widely known and used treatment modalities for acute sports injuries. It is cheap, easy to use and requires very little time to or expertise to prepare.
-Elevation of the injured limb is the final principle of PRICE but is equally as important as the other 4. Elevation allows gravity to drain the fluid away from the injured site. This aids in decreasing the swelling which in turn may decrease the pain associated with the oedema (swelling).
-If pain still persists you can take tablet acetaminophen.

Regards,
Dr.Alekhya.
