Suggest Remedies For Pain In Wound
Question: I had stepped on a glass bottle on 24th march. It was on a beach in deep water. There was profuse bleeding for a long time but it clotted after few minutes. I had few antibiotics plus pain killer tablets and had covered the cut with band aid all the time. Although the pain has reduced to a lot extent now but still I have problem in walking. The skin has regenerated completely but the pain persists. I had not taken the anti-tetanus injection.

Brief Answer:
Saline water fomentation
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your detailed feedback.
You have pain only on walking and all other symptoms and signs are not present.
This indicates that there is fascitis of the underlying fascia. This fascia supports the foot while walking hence the pain on walking.
I would suggest you the following:
Take broad based bucket or a bowl in which you can rest your both feet comfortably.
Pour in a water till it fills up to 8 inches. Remove the feet and start adding common salt to the water. Go on adding till you can see the salt not being able to dissolve. This makes it supersaturated solution.
Once this saturated solution is made, you have to make it warm on a stove to an extent that the back of your hand can tolerate, pour it into the bucket, test the temperature again, rest your feet in to the bucket. Keep part of the solution on the stove so that you can add warm solution to the bucket with feet. Continue for 15 minutes minimum twice daily. Do not throw away this solution as it will look dirty after some days; use the same.
