Hi.
I've gone through your query. I can understand your anxiety.
Your symptoms might be due to bursitis or sprain etc. I advice you to,
- Take Analgesics (Acetaminophen or ibuprofen ) twice & tab. Seropeptidase thrice daily
- Also any antacid along with each dose
- Bed rest & don't overstrain the affected foot
- Ice pack to relieved of pain & swelling
- Elevate the foot end of left leg.
- Check Xray of left leg with foot if swelling not resolving
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Get well soon.
Regards,
Dr. Yogapriya V, General and family physician
