Patient's question:
Seven days ago, I fell from a height of less than one meter onto the carpet. About three hours later, my left foot was a bit limp, and my toes were curled inward. However, when I pressed on it, it didn't hurt anywhere. I was in good spirits and could run and jump. The day before yesterday, I went to the hospital for an ultrasound, which revealed 0.26 cm of fluid in my left hip joint. They told me to stay in bed for a week, but I'm still limping today. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
As of the current situation, this condition is usually caused by localized soft tissue injury. The main reasons are trauma, external force, falls, and other contributing factors. It is recommended to first undergo anti-inflammatory treatment. If necessary, blood circulation can be improved, for example, using plaster with external and medication that can be used three to seven times for injury. It is suggested that your family members can take a rest, and it may also be considered to use some blood-activating topical medication, which may lead to some improvement.
