Foot Injury.? |
My mom broke her foot two weeks ago tomorrow. She got a cat scan done last Friday and it said that her heel is supposedly crushed. They say she can't walk on it for another 2 months (she'll be on crutches) and then after the 2 months i guess she can only put wait on it for like an hour. I guess what I am asking is, is there a way her foot can heal better? My mom has a job to get back to in Wisconsin, and she really needs to get up there. Any rememdies or something that could help it heal faster? Please, please help! Thanks! She has a job in Wisconsin, she's a bar manager and she's always on her feet. 1. Was she seen by a orthopedic doctor or a podiatrist? I would get a recommendation from a podiatrist if she hasn't seen one. Bones will only heal so fast. It will actually take at least six months to a year for her heal to fully heal, although it will withstand weight sooner. If theinjury is in the heel of her foot, chances are she's just going to have to wait it out. My brother broke his heel almost a year ago and still has problems..... The heel is a very sensitive area. jst do wat the doc. says gosh nothing can make it heal faster but u could try using a gell like substence called deep heat It's hard to wait when things like jobs are "pressing issues." Tell her to listen to the doctor. Trying to speed up the process of healing can sometimes make an exsisting injury worse and may require more correction than what would have been necessary if she had been patient. well there is nothing to help her get better but you make her fell better by giving her love and care ohh and i know my foot if hurt i barly could walk. good luck The Doctor should be able to tell her that. I'm really sorry to hear about your Mom's foot ! Maybe physical therapy also , but it takes a while . |

Yep, swelling and redness sounds like an infection to me. You might first try cleaning it with some peroxide which shouldn't hurt much. Then bandage it with an antibiotic salve like Bacitracin... you should rest that foot in a bucket of hot (but not too hot) water. Put ice on were the swelling is. do foot streaches every day. lightly massage it. just do those things everyday sometimes even ... It all depends on what is available in your area. The walk-in clinic down the street has an x-ray service in suite. Try calling the clinic and find out if you they have a x-ray. You could also tr... non-healing wounds can be a symptom of diabetes. you might try an antibiotic ointment such as bacitracin or the bandaids that have antibiotic ointment on them. you may still need to see a doctor.... I would ice it for liike 30 minutes per day. Also move it every once in a while gently so you keep the muscle ...I skateboard and I have had alot of problems like that. One thing that Im sure you have heard before is "walk it off". That is great advice.

Do you get pins and needles? Is it constant pain or does it come on over a period of time? Sounds like it could be a mortons neuroma you would need to get this confirmed by a podiatrist or your doc... |
