Symptoms of a Foot of Ankle Injury That Needs Treatment
Many injuries will heal on their own over time, but sometimes you need to recover in a short period of time or have a problem that will not improve without treatment. Athletes, in particular, cannot afford to leave foot injuries untreated. Putting more strain on an injured foot before it has a chance to fully heal can result in more long-term potentially permanent problems that could prevent you from participating in your sport.
A podiatrist can help you if you experience the following symptoms after sustaining a foot or ankle injury:
- Pain that gets worse when walking or moving
- Swelling or bruising
- Difficulty moving the foot
- Tenderness in the back of the heel
- Pain when wearing shoes and other footwear
As with any injury, surgery should only be considered a last resort for these types of aches and pains. Many patients can find relief through physical therapy, custom orthotics, and other noninvasive treatments.
