Superficial clots front of ankle/foot for a while.painful to touch them & shin pain. doc said not to worry. how can i ease the pain or treat these?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You can try ice: to locally numb the pain OTC ibuprofen or naprosyn (naproxen) would help. If these don't work, your doctor can prescribe patches or stronger pain meds. If your doctor thinks your condition is shin splints, or stress fracture, then you should also rest the area as much as possible.
