Suggest Treatment For Swollen And Painful Ankle And Foot

What is going on with my right foot? I broke my right femur 35 years ago. I am 55 now and the top of my foot swells from time to time. I usually elevate it and it goes down some but not so much lately. I noticed my ankle is swollen some also and the circumference of the lower right leg is bigger than the left one. What can I do about this?

Hi,
Welcome To Healthcare Magic.

I can understand your concern regarding to your health.

It is ok if you have fracture in right femur. Your complain is swelling and pain in right leg. So, go for X-Ray (AP-Lateral) of right ankle- joint and after getting it, share it on healthcare magic and consult the orthopedic surgeon for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Till the time, you can take tablet Vetory-SP (if no allergy), twice in a day, with milk, after a meal, at the interval of 12 hours, for 3-5 days. Also take tablet Dompan-SR (if no allergy), before 15-20 minutes of meal, once in a day, at the interval of 24 hours, for 5 days.

After doing all these things, I hope you will get well sooner and please share your review about my answer on healthcare magic.

Take Care,
Thank You.
