Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I fell 5 feet from a ladder onto my right foot. Fell on the heel mostly. Originally thought it was a sprain, but after two days I cannot walk. When I'm not on the foot I have no pain it's only when I try to flex it upwards or stand on it. I have a appt to see the dr. In 2 day but should I go to ER? Any suggestions?
