Suggest Treatment For Severe Pain In The Foot

Hi, I have been diagnosed with kidney disease. Lately I have been having trouble with the side of my foot. I went to a walk in clinic yesterday because my primary was closed and had a X-ray of it. There was no stress fracture. The Dr. At clinic said could be gout or infection . She prescribed blood work, a steroid shot, antibiotics , pain med and 3 pills of colcrys. The first thing I read on the medical print out from pharmacy was do not take if you have kidney problems. I did not take them. What do you think.

Hi,

Treatments are optimally directed toward the specific cause of the pain. When you first begin to notice discomfort or pain in the area, you can treat yourself with rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE).

Over-the-counter medications may also be used to reduce discomfort and pain.

Rest will allow the tissues to heal by preventing any further stress to the affected area. Crutches should be used if you have difficulty putting weight on the foot.

Appropriate use of commercially available ankle and foot supports may provide rest, comfort, and support to the affected area.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Monish De, Oncologist
