Paracetamol and ignore??

[Whichoneisbest]

I’m an idiot. I was sat awkwardly for ages and didn’t realise when stood up my foot had gone numb. When I stood up and tried to walk my foot refused to move and I fell, something crunched in my foot as I went down!

I walked to playgroup and back on it, it was hurting but not too bad. Since we’ve been home it’s started throbbing. The pain is in the top of my foot, feels like maybe the tendon or something, it hurts most when I try to lift my foot off the floor.

I have taken paracetamol, is it ok just to wait for it to heal up or does it need looking at?

Ouch. It sounds like it needs looking at. My aunt did the exact same thing and her foot was broken. She needed one of those special boots.

I hope it isn't broken and that it heals up quickly

You could try some ice and ibuprofen, if it's just swollen that should help if it doesn't you might need to see someone

Thank you! Painkillers and elevation have helped a lot and feels much better this morning so I’m thinking I got lucky and it’s probably not broken.
