Can a bus running over the foot cause difficulty in walking?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am not able to walk properly since a bus ran over my foot. Please help. I am attaching an x-ray of the foot.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
- Your x-ray (attachment removed to protect patient identity) seems to be fine, but it is not clear. So, consult a traumatologist or radiologist with a clear picture. And your medical history lacks complete information.
- However, limp after a trauma could be caused by dislocation, tendonitis or ankle tendon tear, etc. Please consider consulting a traumatologist for clinical examination with an x-ray to avoid future mobility disorder.
- Until then, try the following. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and start taking medicine after their consent.
- I suggest taking painkillers such as Ibuprofen 200 mg, twice daily, to reduce inflammation and temporary relief, if gastric ulcers are absent.
- Avoid bearing weight on the foot.
- Try going for physiotherapy.
- I hope this answers your question, please try to be more specific about your query next time.
For further queries consult an internal medicine physician online.
