Suggest Remedy For Swelling In Foot Post Injury

Harley Davidson fell off trailer on to my husbands calf 6 days ago.. he s walked on it some and said it didn t hurt too much, although his calf was swollen and very bruised. He had a busy night at work last night and came home this morning and his foot and ankle are swollen now. Just wondered If there is something besides ice or moist heat that will help?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello dear,

The symptoms as mentioned in your post can be attributed to musculo-skeletal injury.
X ray of the leg and ankle joint can be done to rule out any pathological cause for the symptoms.

Symptomatic relief can be obtained by application of ice, analgesic & muscle relaxant gel, intake of analgesics like Diclofenac (to be taken after food) + Pantoprazole (to be taken 30 minutes before meals).
Supplements of Calcium & Vitamin D can be included in his diet which will help in strengthening of bones.
Physiotherapy exercise will also be helpful.

There is no need to worry, he will be fine.
Till then, he should maintain adequate hydration & nutrition status, take proper rest and avoid stress.

Wishing him a Good Health.
Take care.
