What To Do For The Stiffness In The Sprained Foot?
I can put weight on my sprained foot after a week that it happened but still I feel stiffness on it when I walk. My Doctor never call me anymore after my X-ray for further examination maybe because the X-ray result is clear. But still I m worrying about my foot when I get it back to its normal condition. Help me please...Thanks!
I have studied your case with diligence. There can be deep muscle and ligament injury You can take vit C for early healing. If blood persist longer internally can lead to damage to tissue leading to cartilage damage. I will advise MRI if pain persist.
If you see any signs of infection like raised local temperature, , increase in pain then you should consult your doctor..
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.
