Suggest Treatment For Tenderness And Pain In The Foot

Hey doc, I have some pain in my right foot that has been there for at least 3 days, if not 4. It s not excruciating but there is noticeable discomfort. The top of my foot is tender to the touch and when I point/stretch my foot in a forward direction I can feel the discomfort in the middle joints that connect to the toes. Also, I believe there is slight swelling as the veins on top of my right foot are not as defined as they usually are and not as defined as the ones on top of my left foot at this time. I have a feeling it may be tendonitis due to wearing a pair of boots too tight last Thursday or Friday but would just like a professional opinion. Thank you for your time and your insight.

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

Thanks for writing to us,

I have studied your case with diligence.
It can be due to soft tissue injury or stress fracture.

Till time take medication and apply crepe bandage over foot or use supportive splint. Do ice fomentation and rest to foot.

If pain persists you may need x ray foot/leg to rule out stress fracture, you can consult your doctor and do required investigation.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
