Suggest Remedies For A Ligament Tear In Back
Hi There, I recently tore a ligament in my back and have been prescribed some anti-inflammatory. I have been stretching and exercising. Since I tore my ligament, I have been scratching all over my body. Particularity my feet and ankles. I am always iching and don t understand way. I have taken Benadryl, but to no avail. Can you assist?

Hello,
As per your history, it may be due to ligament tear
As ligament has no blood supply, so it does not repair automatically.
For that you may require surgical intervention after surgeon consultation.
Till then for pain you can take tablet acetaminophen. Apply diclofenac gel or ointment locally. Heating pads will also help.
Avoid forward bending and squatting position.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
