My daughters horse stepped on the outside of her foot. She is 14 and the horse is about 900 lbs. the horse barly stopped on it before she got her foot out of the way. It is a little swollen, not realy bruised and hurts to the touch and walkng. The swelling is more on the fifth metatarsal, as I believe that is where contact was made with the horse. If I take her to the doctors is there anything they can do for her other than an x-ray and tell her to rest ice and elevate? Thanks
Without examining by an Or tho Surgeon very difficult to come to any conclusion, by what you say there may be a fracture of the 5th Meta tarsal bone so get an X-Ray done know if it is a fracture, or else use an anklet for 3 weeks, it will be Ok if it is a simple fracture. You are like want to fill your tummy without eating [without being examined]
