Suggest Treatment For Hairline Fracture In The Toe Bone
You need to apply ice and take Advil
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have studied your case and I think you may have hairline fracture in the toe bone. It is causing pain and swelling. You have done another mistake by applying hot water fomentation. I have following suggestions for you.
1.Get x ray to see if their is any hair line fracture or not. Some time there can be hairline fracture with very trivial trauma and specially in post menopausal women with osteoporotic bones.
2.Take Ice in a bucket and keep your feet in it.
3.Take advil for pain relief. You can take Brufen also.
4.You may need Buddy splinting . In this we do strapping of injured toe with near by toe.
thanks
