Hello
Thanks for writing to us,
I have studied your case with diligence.
You may need x ray or MRI of ankle and foot which can be advised after clinical examination consult your doctor and do required investigation.
Till time take medication like analgesic and apply crepe bandage over foot or use supportive splint.
Physiotherapy will help to reduce symptoms.
Some nutrients which are important for recovery after injury include vitamin C, folic acid, calcium, vitamin D, VIT B12.so supplements of these nutrients will lead to early recovery.
Regular physiotherapy and exercises are very important for early rehabilitation as my patients find much relief by these therapies.
Hematoma will be there on lower limb due to injury which is painful.this will subside after 3 weeks.
