Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 19-year-old female, who have been experiencing discomfort in my right foot since last night. The area is swollen, and any attempt to move triggers the pain. I have a sensation of being pulled beneath my big toe. Please help.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome to Icliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern.

Swelling and foot pain could stem from an injury, such as a sprain or strain. Another possibility could be a condition known as plantar fasciitis, which involves inflammation of the tissue linking the heel bone to the toes. I suggest consulting a healthcare professional to ensure an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment. The approach to treating foot injuries can vary based on the injury's severity and type. Common treatments may comprise rest, ice, compression, elevation (RICE), and over-the-counter pain medication. In more severe instances, immobilization using a cast or brace might be necessary to facilitate healing and prevent further harm. If your symptoms persist, I suggest you consider seeking advice from an orthopedic doctor.

I hope this helps.

Please revert in case of other queries.

Thank you.
