How To Heal Painful Right Leg Injury?
In aug. of last yr, I slipped and fell. Evidantly my right leg flew forward (Onlookers said I did the splits), then as I pulled my right leg back, I landed on the top of my right foot.. since that time, I have had pain in my right leg (Not consistantly, but is coming more frequently) and now when I climb stairs, I avoid using my right side as much as possible. I am 73 yrs old and my job requres me on my feet 7 of 8 hrs. So it s not like I can just sit down or elevate it to help heal it. My question is what can I do to help the healing process. and eleminate pain? I HATE taking medications, so please advise me what to do or eat. Thank YOu!!

Hi You had a fall about one year back and injured your leg and are having pain since then. It is not clear if you took an x-ray of the affected part. It is also quite possible that your problem may not be related to fall since the pain is increasing now only. I would recommend one x ray of the exact affected part as a first step .
