Suggest Treatment For Foot Pain Caused By An Injury
Hi, I was moving a grill from the garage to the backyard; it has wheels so I was basically holding up the front end while rolling the back end. Halfway through my journey one of the front steel stationary legs hit the top of my foot and now it hurts a lot! I am putting ice on it but it still hurts, any suggestions?

Hai, u have got ablunt traumatic injury, of course cold compression could be of some help, keep the foot elevated for good blood supply,
Can apply a crepe bandage while walking.
Do not pit more pressure on the injured foot
Take painkillers like ibuprofen/diclofenac
It the pain and swelling still persists, please go for an xray foot (ap&lateral) to rule out any bony injuries or any soft tissue swelling.
Have a consultation with an orthopaedic surgeon.
Goodluck twke care
