What should I do if I sprain my foot for a month and it doesn t get better?

If the foot has not recovered after a month of twisting, it is necessary to rule out whether there is a fracture, and it is necessary to rule out whether there is a fracture through a radiograph. If there are no fractures, most of them are caused by injuries to the inner and outer ankle ligaments of the foot. In the early management of medial and external malleolar ligament injuries, activities should be strictly limited, and a cast or brace should be applied to facilitate ligament recovery.

After one month, the ligament recovery period has passed, and you need to go to the hospital to find a special foot and ankle surgeon for a physical examination to see the extent of the ligament injury, and if necessary, you need to do magnetic resonance to further verify the extent of the ligament injury, and most of them do not need surgery for further treatment. If the ligament tear is very severe, some require further ligament repair.

Hello, in this case, you can appropriately apply topical swelling and analgesic dings at the same time as oral rejunsha, vitamin C, bone-setting pills, and indomethacin.

Guidance: You can also apply topical application to avoid walking for a long time, and it will get better slowly, and it is better to go to the hospital to see if you are not at ease.

Questioner's follow-up:

I felt better after taking medicine some time ago, but recently I have been serious again after taking medicine.

Reply:

I have to continue**, I believe it will get better soon, don't worry too much.

For patients with foot sprains and long-term non-recovery, that is, ankle sprains, may damage ligaments and joint capsule; In particular, if there is a tear and rupture, it can lead to long-term pain in the ankle joint and the inability to move vigorously.

At this time, we first have to perform an MRI to find out if there is a tear in the lower tibiofibular ligament, which causes instability of the ankle joint. A tear in the lower tibiofibular ligament can cause the ankle point to widen and the talus bone to move from side to side within the ankle point. When the ankle joint is weight-bearing and exercised, the articular cartilage will wear and tear, pain, and then cause swelling.

If this happens, we need to reconstruct the lower tibiofibular ligament to reduce the ankle point of the ankle joint. If necessary, the medial and lateral collateral ligaments should be reconstructed to restore the stability of the ankle joint.

As the saying goes. 100 days of broken muscles and bones. As long as you can recover your health every day. It's good to follow the doctor's instructions and recuperate patiently. Be careful not to hurt again. Hope you will be able to recover soon.

Foot joints include ankle joints, tarsal joints, tarsometatarsal joints, metatarsal joints, metatarsophalangeal joints, and toe joints. In human movement, as long as you are standing, no matter what action you do, you can't do without the joints of the feet. In particular, the ankle joint is an important joint for the human body to bear weight, and the ligaments around the ankle joint play an important role in maintaining the stability of the ankle joint.

A ligament injury or a slight change in the position of the ankle can cause many symptoms, such as swelling, painful walking, and even some people who are afraid to walk. Some of these patients cannot be seen by X-ray, but they can be detected by manual palpation.

After manual reduction, the normal physiological position of each ligament and joint can be achieved, and the symptoms are removed. It should also be pointed out that if the ankle joint is not properly developed, it may lead to ankle instability, easy to repeated sprains and dislocations, and in severe cases, traumatic arthrosis. It will be good to find a master orthopedic reduction.

Hello, a few months have not been good, must be as soon as possible**, what symptoms are you now? Is the swelling and pain noticeable?

It is recommended to do an MRI, Yunnan Baiyao can only relieve pain, no actual effect, MRI is to check the muscle and bony structure, X-ray is simply to check the bony structure, although X-ray is much cheaper than MRI, but not comprehensive, it is best to go to the hospital if you are sick, the foot is the foundation of the person, trauma may cause the destruction of internal tissues, and systemic venous return, about the gas should be a manifestation of swelling, theoretically there will be no gas on the feet. Yunnan Baiyao is not a cure.
