Guest toonlass Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Hey there, have just missed the bottom step on the stairs on the way down, and my ankle twisted under me and I fell. Now I have pain along my foot (little toe side of the foot) pain in my ankle and tingling in my whole foot. Not sure if its swollen. What do you think I should do, can put weight on it but not without pain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mowen Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Possibly the ankle too, although I'm no doctor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 She's browsing at the minute because she's got the bairn asleep on her lap. Does sound like ligament damage. If it swells even more, reapply the ice. Take paracetamol and ibuprofen for the pain or if it becomes unbearable you need to go and get it checked. Elevate it while you're resting and see how it is in the morning. If you're still worried about it then go to A & E. She also liked Keef's quip about the Cath scan.
