Suggest Treatment For Swelling In Foot After An Injury
Yesterday, my mom sat down and twisted and crushed my foot on the edge of the couch. There was a small amount swelling, but I can not put any weight on it. I get hairline fracture very easily, but don t show until they start to heal. I tried a air boot but still can not put weight on it. Should I go in?

hi
as you mentioned about the pain and swelling you need to first take not water fermentation and keep the feet elevated. Along with this you can perform ankle toe movements as it will help reduce the swelling.
Incase in 72 hours if the pain and swelling don't come down, taking an x-ray will put insight to your condition.
always, prevention is better than a cure.
early stage of care helps to reduce the number of injury.
with the grace of God I wish you a speedy recovery
