Injured foot, any ideas?!


Question: Injured foot, any ideas!?
I was doing some indoor rock climbing today and fell - not from very high, maybe a metre above the ground!. Landed on one foot, and a bit awkwardly - hurts like buggery at the moment, and has slowly gotten worse!. I could walk on it, and even attempted another climb while I was there, now I can limp awkwardly by tilting it outwards (right foot) and pushing off - but even that hurts!. It feels a bit warm, and around the crease of the foot (where the leg hits the ankle) there is a band of slightly swollen tissue!. It's not the ankle, as that is still bony and cool compared to the rest of the foot!. Got to work in!.!. six hours now, sort of worried as I've had to call in sick once this week already!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Recommend an x-ray could be a stress fracture, lots of bones in there!. If you have to work, try ace bandage, ice, elevation and Advil until you have to go in!. It will probably get worse with activity as you have already found out!. Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

there is no way to tell unless you get an x-ray, you probobly just strained the superior reticulum in your foot!. It is a large tendon that connects to the ankle i think!.!.but im no doc!. Get an x-ray or just ice it and ACE bandage!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i think u should check ur doc, get an x ray, it could be a sprain, or even a chip bone, better safe than sry, so check ur doc dats the best thing!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
