I got hit by my surfboard after wiping out on a wave a week ago. The tail of my board hit back of my calf muscle feeling like a terrible Charlie horse. It was really tight and difficult to walk downstairs several days but could easily exercise walk and even surfed again a couple days later. Now I notice swelling, bruising and tenderness in ankle area which I didn t think was initially hurt. Do I need to take special care of it?
Hello, Thanks for writing to us, I have studied your case with diligence. You may need x-ray or MRI of ankle and foot which can be advised after clinical examination consult your doctor and do require investigation. Till time take medication like analgesic and apply cr\u00eape bandage over foot or use supportive splint. Some nutrients which are important for recovery after injury include vitamin C, folic acid, calcium, vitamin D, IT B12.so supplements of these nutrients will lead to early recovery.
