Hi I am a 42 year old female and I am in good health except for my foot that I sprained 3 months that doesnt want to heal. My foot was x-rayed but nothing was broken. My foot is still swollen and bruised. Can u please tell me what should be done. I dont have medical aid.
Hello, Continuous swelling after this long time at your foot may due to unhealed ligament injury. You should do following to have relief:-Do contrast bath (Cold fomentation for 2 minutes followed by warm fomentation for 2 minutes for 3 times a day)-Take an anti-inflammatory analgesic agent on prescription-Apply an ace bandage and keep your limb elevated on a pillow whenever you are in rest Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
