Question: In need of relief from extreme foot pain?

(Posted by: Jbaby on 2008-11-04 07:31:18)

My husband was born with club feet and had it corrected as a baby by surgery. they moved parts from the arch side of his foot to the other side. well this past weekend he had to help his dad in the auto shop cleaning and moving heavy stuff- he worked from 12 noon till 2am each day. the areas where stuff was removed hurts extremely bad, especially on one foot. i was wondering if anyone knew what we could do to relieve it- would heat help? cold...any other suggestions. he can barely move it it is so stiff.

I would guess that he is experiencing pain from inflammation. Do you see any visible swelling? Does he have pins and screws implanted in his foot? Try icing it, pain meds like ibuprofen, elevate it and get an actipatch for him. If it does not get better soon- see a doctor.
