Hi, I recently dropped a board on the top of my foot about ten days ago. It is still a little swollen and has a sore lump on top, also bruised down to my toes. I can walk without too much discomfort. I am a 71 yr old women. I appreciate any information you can give me
Hello, An x-ray is Advised for safety to check out any bony injuries. First I will tell you to rest, do icing if you aren't diabetic, use cr\u00eape bandage and keep the feet elevated over the pillow. This will help to reduce the swelling and the healing will be optimum. Also, I will advise you to do simple hot water fermentation and in water simple ankle and toe movements to regain muscle strength and range. Slow and low-intensity exercises have been found useful in recent research studies. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jay In Chat Doctor.
