Suggest Treatment For Torn Tendon After Stubbing Toe
Question: My 50 year old daughter suffers from what seems to be a torn tendon. She stubbed her toe on the last step and we heard a snap sound and she had a very bruised lower leg for some time and she refused to go to the ER or a doc later. Why? Who knows because she has suffered continually from a spot of pain and burning.
She had recently, last 5 years had therapy with no permanent result. She used message and infrared therapy here at home.
My wonder could a laser treatment remove the pain which is probably a related nerve involvement.
