Should I get it checked by orthopedic

2017-09-05 09:12:32
I fell down stairs on Saturday , xrays were clear, no broken bones. Soft ligament tear. Went to emergency. But cannot put weight even to limp,pains very badly. Pain on the front part of the foot, not toes or ankle. Should I get it checked again?. When can I put weight on the foot. Any exercises I should do? Doctor gave Etova ER, how many times a day? Should I be worried that I can't put weight on it and its paining?

Could be soft tissue injury if no evidence of fracture. You need to use crepe bandage for supporting the limb. If u have doubt get it checked again.
Next Steps
No exercises till recovery, soft tissue injury takes 4-6 weeks to heal. Tab etova ER once daily
