A member asked:

Power w/c ran over foot. severe pain in medial foot (increases with weight bearing), tender to touch, x-ray showed no breaks. what should i do now?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

GetBackOnYourChair..: Break or no break, keep off it for a few days (rent some crutches) 'till you can start to walk and if you can't after, say, a week or ten days, get a re-check and they may repeat the x-ray to see if something shows up that didn't on the first one. Elevate it as much as possible to keep the swelling down (swelling slows healing) and if it helps, apply ice to it, even a few days later it may help.
