Hello there,
I have hurt my foot 3 months and 22 days ago while doing my usual daily sport.
It turned blue immediately and started swelling, I went to the family doctor and he told me I need to do an X-ray, so I did, and after it, the doctor told me there's a sprain and a stretch, he added it needs time just don't walk too much on it and relax it by putting a item (pillow for instance) under my leg - ankle. I did that for weeks, and then stopped it for a while, after one month I went for an orthopedist and he told me, I should probably walk on it a little bit and it needs time, it could also hurt more than a broken foot.
It didn't work either, eventually I was advised for reflexology, however the doctor of alternative medicine told me reflexology won't effectively help, and I was admonished for acupuncture.
I did four meetings in acupuncture, it helped at the beginning , I was told by my acupuncturist to start walking 2-3 times a week for 20 minutes each time, I did for once, and it didn't hurt much, but after two days at night, I couldn't sleep due to the pain and I felt so distressed, I used to do sport daily and go to my karate courses too, but have stopped this, I'm afraid its going to be a chronic pain, cause whenever I walk too much during the day I feel the pain is back.
Please take into consideration my worries, I'm looking forward a great assistance.
Shall I continue with my acupuncture? I hope it will cure as soon as possible.
Thanks a lot in advance.
