Patient's question:
Injury on May 31, 2014 (hit my bed leg), June 3, I got a cast (our municipal hospital took X-rays and said it was a suspected fracture, the X-ray was unclear, then the doctor said whether it was a fracture or not, let's put on a cast first), June 27, the cast was removed (I went to the Zhejiang Children's Hospital), the uploaded X-rays and the X-ray report are also from the Zhejiang University Children's Hospital, ..., now when I walk, I don't feel pain, but I see that my foot is slightly swollen, and also I walk a bit crooked.Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on the medical history, there is still a possibility of a fracture. It has been nearly six weeks now, and there is swelling in the local area, as well as compensatory posturing. It is considered that the trauma has not yet fully healed. It is recommended to soak feet in warm water to promote blood circulation, and to elevate the affected limb regularly. The affected foot should be positioned above heart level, such as slightly elevating the foot while lying down to ensure it is above heart level, to reduce swelling. You can visit a local hospital for treatment, including medication and physical therapy to promote fracture healing, as well as physical therapy to improve circulation, reduce swelling, and alleviate pain.
