What is the treatment for the soft tissue injury on the foot?
Patient: yes I need to know if I had a soft tissue injury to my right foot particulary my big toe & was outta work little over a month! was given boot & crutches & pain meds as treatment told to elevate soak & stay iff for the duration!! I dropped 20lbs of a case of frozen butter on my foot didn t get swelling & severe pain for three days!! is it a possibility I have a onset of tendernitis!! was told I may have rheumotoid arthritis in that toe today!! I need an opinion!! the injury was in 1999!! ive lived with pain in that toe after injury for years should I address it its getting worse!! cant wear high heals or bend that toe without swelling & pain!! Doctor: Hi there.You can keep the limb elevated. Get an XRay done and report to your Doctor to rule out fracture. You can take pain killer like Ibuprofen 200mg twice a day after meal. Do cold soaks for relief.
