Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I was running outside barefoot (I know stupid) and I misstepped, my foot managed to twist in a way, instead of landing on the bottom of my foot, I landed somewhat on the top of my foot and heard a series of cracking before I cried out in pain. It has been 3 hours and I still have pain (not as much as initially) but still pain, most notably in one specific area. No swelling or tenderness, just a bit of pain, more so while walking. Is it possible I cracked a bone or torn a ligament. I have never broken/sprain so I wouldnt know if anything like that has happened. Should I go see a doctor in the morning if the pain hasnt completely passed?
Hello dear I understand your concern Your symptoms could be due to stress fracture, torn ligament, muscle strain. I would suggest to consult the orthopaedics and undergo clinical examination, x ray and if needed USg to confirm the cause. Doctor will give following advises: Tablet diclofenac plus serratiopeptidase Soak leg in the warm water with added epsom salt Give rest to the leg and do not run for the week Wear well cushioned shoes while running (Adidas ultra boost) Apply local volini gel Wear crepe bandage Physiotherapy and shock wave therapy can be useful Other treatment depend on the test results Hope this may help you
