Suggest Treatment For Painful Foot After An Injury
I am 46, have mild arthritis in right hip, bulging discs in L4-L5 and L5 - S?. I have had chronic tolerable pain for years, but a few days ago I fell about a foot and a half to two feet and landed on my right foot pretty hard. I am now having intense pain. I find it intolerable unless I take a pain pill. I have been putting ice on it. I can t put heat; causes flare up in nerve pain. Should I wait a few days or should I see a doctor now.
It seems you have injured your foot rather hard.There may be fracture in the foot bones.you must go to a hospital & get a x ray of the injured part. I think it should not be treated 'on line'.
