Suggest Treatment For Discomfort In The Right Leg

Earlier today I was stand on my car bumper (in the garage) to put something on top of the fridge. I slipped and land on my feet but more weight was placed on my right leg than my left. I felt immediate discomfort as expected but with ice and a wrap and ibuprofen there is still discomfort. Mostly when walking, bending, or even lifting my leg to elevate. I hate to go to urgent car unnecessarily but I also don t want to take any chances. Suggestions?

Hello,

If there is no deformity and if you can bear weight on your foot, very likely it is just a sprain and there is nothing to worry at the moment but just avoid activities that may hurt your leg and also use ibuprofen and the wrap.

If you can not bear your weight on your foot or if you have any deformity in the leg or the pain is not better in another 1-2 weeks with this treatment then please see your doctor.

I hope this answers your query.
I remain at your disposal for further medical assistance.
