Fungus Eliminator Review
Ice to area Ice is designed to reduce swelling and Fungus Eliminator Review can often decrease pain significantly. This is a key part of treating any injury. Heat to area Although ice was helping, it was insufficient to decrease the pain. Heat (as opposed to ice) increases the blood flow to the area and can help remove "junk" that the body has after an injury. Alternating hot and cold is usually a great idea, but cold should be final or the foot will swell significantly.Compressive Wrap Placing an elastic or ace wrap to the foot and ankle helped support it and decrease the pain. RICE is the best acronym (Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation).
Vibration On a soccer field, a football field or by a track, it is easy to test an injury for bone involvement by using a tuning fork and testing the injured area. When a bone is broken, it usually will hurt more with vibration. In my case, however, it didn't hurt to vibrate. X-ray With the above treatments, and the addition of ibuprofen or other anti-inflammatory, often the pain improves. Since mine was getting worse over time, I knew it was time for an X-ray. Through taking my own x-ray, I was able to diagnose a broken bone in the foot.
Protection in a Cast Boot There are multiple options for treating a broken foot, from a ankle brace to a post-op shoe to a cast or boot. I chose the boot as it provides the protection of a cast but the ease of showering without keeping the foot dry (Besides, it is hard to cast your own foot.) The boot, however, is to be utilized as a cast, except removal for showers (ie. I am sleeping in the boot too.)
