What should I do if the swelling of my broken foot has gone down but the pain is still there?

The fact that there is still pain after the swelling of the broken foot has subsided may be related to the fact that the condition has not fully recovered and treatment should be continued. In addition, chronic strain and poor prognosis are also common causes of the above symptoms, which should be corrected in time and dealt with through general treatment and medication.
1. The condition has not healed: soft tissue injury may occur after breaking the foot. After braking and resting, the symptoms of swelling may gradually disappear, but this does not mean that it has been fully recovered, and the patient still needs to undergo further treatment.
It is recommended that patients should strengthen the rest, reduce activities, and pay attention to local warmth, after the swelling is reduced, you can also take the way of hot compresses to deal with.
2. Chronic strain injury: Failure to treat the broken foot in time leads to chronic strain injury such as chronic fasciitis in the ankle and other parts of the foot, which can also lead to persistent symptoms of pain. For this kind of symptom, ibuprofen and other medications should be applied as prescribed by the doctor for treatment. Adverse reactions such as nausea and rash may occur after using the medication, and must be treated by a doctor.
Patients can also be treated with stretching exercises, microwave therapy and infrared radiation, which can better promote recovery.
3. Poor prognosis: In the recovery stage, no good nursing care, resulting in slower recovery, which may also lead to patients still experiencing pain after the swelling has subsided.
For this kind of symptom, nursing measures should be strengthened and actively cooperate with doctors for treatment. Avoid strenuous exercise before full recovery to avoid exacerbating the condition.
If the above symptoms occur, you should consult a doctor promptly and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
