Extreme pain on outer foot
Im having a strong pain on my outer right foot after tripping. It goes from right under my 5th toe, where a small bruise appeared, to below my ankle and is slightly swollen and red. I can hardly walk, only limp.
⢠Roll a ball. Roll a golf ball or tennis ball under the ball of your foot. Apply light pressure for about two minutes.
⢠Stretch standing up:-Stand up and place your toes against a wall; lean forward a little until you feel your arch stretch. Repeat using the other foot.
⢠Stretch sitting down. Sit barefoot and cross your left leg so that your ankle rests on your right thigh. Then hold your toes and bend them back toward your shin, stretching the band of tissue connecting the bottom of the heel to the ball.
⢠Give yourself a foot massage.
