Suggest Treatment For Swelling And Pain In Foot
I can t hardly move my ankle. I ve been having to walk on the side of my foot to avoid pain for two days and now my foot looks swollen and I don t know what to do. I ve been waking up with this problem for a month at least and I can usually get it back into place in a couple of minutes but not this time. It s been two days. Can you please help me?

Hello,
Your symptoms are suggestive of a joint dislocation or luxation. For this reason, I recommend going to the ER for a physical exam and a joint X-ray study. Immobilization may be needed. In the meantime, I would recommend having some rest and putting some ice cubs on it.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
