What Is The Treatment For Leg Pain?

About two weeks ago, I landed wrong on my foot in dance. It hurt a bit when i did it, but not too much that I couldn t walk. The pain faded in a few days until it was just when I squeezed my foot, but about two days ago it came back worse than it was before. It s not excruciating, but it s uncomfortable to walk on.

without an exam, I can only give general information; and the exam would be quite helpful in this case. There can be a fracture and it would be an indication for an x ray.

The specific location would say what was going on. Mostly it is tendons that are irritated. This gets tricky. My dance master swears by icing. I like deep warm water. Mostly both are right with ice immediately and things to mobilize inflammation like aspirin like drugs and pressure (deep water baths) after the immediate inflammation.

But, I did mention tendons. They get tricky. They heal slowly. They can stiffen. Graded gentle increases in weight with flexibiilty training over about 3 weeks would be the usual recommendation.
