Foot pain in top and side of the foot with no bruising or swelling for a couple weeks , but now can't tolerate weight, who should i see an ortho or ped?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Specialist: Seeing a podiatrist or a foot & ankle orthopedic specialist would be a good choice. They both have unique knowledge of the foot and ankle. Either way, xrays, bloodwork and a good examination should help you in getting a diagnosis and treatment to help!
