Swelling And Bruise On Top Of Foot Due To Broken Bone. Burning Sensation In Foot After Using Prescribed Boot. Normal?
I broke a bone on the top of my foot Saturday (5 days ago), the ER gave me a boot and told me to not put any pressure on my foot for 4 to 6 weeks. I find I can walk on my heel with the boot thing on but have started to feel burning in my toes and top of foot. I still have swelling and a lot of bruising, is this normal?
Hallo dear friend, thanks for writing to HCM I am Dr vaibhav Gandhi, I am orthopedic surgeon I have studied your case.
you should take rest and limb elevation should be followed as there is swelling you should not put weight on foot till 1 to 2 weeks till swelling subsides there must be some nerve injury which lead to numbness
Here are my suggestions to you: give rest to toe do cold fomentation
Take care
