What Causes Severe Pain On The Foot After Falling Down?
2 months ago I fell and twisted my ankle. No broken bones from the x-rays. Pain was getting worse so Dr had an MRI done showing Compression fracture to the ankle and several other problems. I have been in an air boot for over 6 weeks the last 2 weeks 24/7. I have severe pain when I recline and at night when I m in bed.It that normal? I thought by know that the pain would have eased up. I have put no pressure on the foot for 6 weeks. I m a 62 year old woman. Thank you for listening
The symptoms seem to be related to to a twisted ankle. I suggest using anti-inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain. I also suggest to use a splint to maintain the ankle immobilized. Cold compresses can also be helpful.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
