Hi,i am 17,female, and i dislocated my left foot in december...i had a cast and plenty of rest,foot exercises medicines etc. but now its almost april and occassionally my foot hurts.It isn t like a throbbing pain,but i cant move my foot left or right.I feel as if there is tension accumulated and i am afraid to move my feet because of this pain.then after a diplofenac potassium tablet,my foot feels perfectly fine! help,i cant keep on taking the pills. i cant go to the doctor immediately as i have my pre med exams going on.I do exercise regulary and this pain is meddling with my routines.I do pilates and strecthing.I don t run so running can t be the cause of the pain. I ll be waiting for the answer.Thank you

Hi,
Thank you for posting your question here, I will try to answer it to the best of my abilities.

It could be either because of soft tissue damage which hasnt healed yet or because your tendons have gotten stiff and they still have loosened up yet, for both of these problems you need physiotherapy. Also you need to continue your foot exercises, to strengthen your muscles, this is essentially a type of recuperation that your foot needs, it cannot be rushed. It will heal but slowly.

I hope this answered your question.
