A patient with a broken foot may injure the muscles and soft tissues of the foot, and in severe cases, the bones, leading to fractures. Therefore, it is normal for a patient to not be able to walk the next day after a foot fracture occurs. If a patient has a foot fracture, the first thing he or she should do is to seek medical attention and take an X-ray. If no fracture exists, but only muscle and soft tissue injury, conservative treatment can be taken by instructing the patient to prohibit activities and elevate the affected limb. Secondly, the affected area should be given a foot bath, Chinese herbal fumigation, or an ointment that activates blood circulation and relieves swelling and pain, such as a golden ointment or a topical Fotarin spray, which can relieve pain and eliminate swelling. The affected area can also be treated with acupuncture and moxibustion, which can effectively accelerate local blood circulation and promote metabolism, which can effectively relieve pain and reduce swelling. In addition, the patient can also be instructed to take blood-boosting drugs or bruising drugs, which will enable the injured muscles and soft tissues to recover as soon as possible.
