Swelling in foot

2018-03-04 04:50:03
I had 5th metatarsal fracture in my left foot in October last year and was out of cast on December 3rd. After that I wore ankle braces for one month while walking with sports shoes. After that I skipped wearing ankle braces and wear only sport shoes. Everything is going well and there was no problem with my foot. It just happened a day before yesterday, I didn't wear sports shoes and was wearing bellies for whole day. At the end of the day my left foot becomes swollen with little pain in the fractured area. It continues for the other day also so I dipped it into Luke warm water last night and now it's little better but not alright. Please let me know if there is anything wrong with it.

• Calf Stretches • Standing calf stretch • Stand away from a wall and.put your fight foot behind you and be sure your toes are facing forward. Lean forward at the ankle while bending the right knee and keeping your heel on the ground. Hold this for 30 to 60 seconds. Repeat 10 times a twice a day.

The sweeping looks too much. Probably the fracture has not healed. So please get x-rays done again and plan for re-treatment.

If the fracture was healed, you should not experience pain or swelling.
