Suggest Treatment For Severe Foot Pain And Ankle Bone Pain
Yesterday my sister-in-law suddenly experienced a very sharp pain on the top of her foot towards the outside near the ankle bone. It extended around the side of the ankle bone and then slightly up the leg. After the pain, bruising instantly appeared on top of the foot and along the side with swelling in a small bubble-like area. Today there is still tenderness, some swelling and some bruising. Any thoughts?
I have studied your case with diligence. As per your history there can be tear in ankle ligament leading to pain Instability may increase due to laxity of ligament.
I will advise to do MRI ankle for soft tissue involvement. Till time you can continue use supportive splint or brace. Physiotherapy like ultrasound and TENS will help in early healing. Follow strict limb elevation, do ice fomentation.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
Wishing you good health.
Take care.
