Hii, Four days back I meet with bike accident. I m not able to walk my leg is full swellen. I went to clinic doctor told me it not bone fracture. After 4 days that means now pain is not that much but swelling is there and still I m not able to walk. Can I put crap bandage on my foot. Will that help me in reduce the swelling and walking and how many days it will take to recover. Thanks Sweta Singh
I can udnerstand your problem. I would suggest you keep the injured limb elevated over two pillows. Also you can take pain killer like Tablet Ibuprofen 200mg twice a day over a meal. You can apply crepe bandage if you are having swelling over the foot. It will take 3-5 days to recover. You must avoid putting much weight on the injured limb for atleast 2 weeks.
