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.
Hello, I have pain on the inner side of my left foot. There feels like there is a bone that looks like it is swollen and tender. When I start to walk it hurts as I push off. I have started taking Ibuprofen for the pain. What do you think this could be?
I think there may be a fracture since you notice a bone there, is red and can't make it move. I suggest you do an x-ray of the foot for further investigation. Also, another possibility is osteoarthritis or tendinitis.
Expect taking antinflamatory drugs you also can. (if it is not a fracture)
* Put foot on rest
* Band it tight
* Elevate limb
* Use cold compresses
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Olgeta Xhufka,
General & Family Physician
