10 points?? Pain in foot?!


Question: 10 points?? Pain in foot?
Around Christmas time I dropped a crate on my left foot, I didn't think anything of it recently it's really hurting. Like in the middle but sometimes my whole foot will be in agony. What could be wrong? Would it be worth it to go the emergency room? There isn't bruising or swelling.

Answers:

If you have broken a bone and you leave it untreated, the bone may repair itself but not staight, did you completly rest it?? you may have some ligament damage, ligaments can take a long time to heal, longer than a broken bone would! I have ligament damage in my hand, and it still hurts at times 4 years after it happened and it still swells. I would advise you to see your GP, if you dont feel happy with the answer you are given then go to another doctor to get an answer. You could try a support bandage or a foot support (not very comfortable) but every one is different, it doesnt suit everyone.

Good luck hope this helps!
