(47,040 posts)13. You might want to have a physical therapist look at it.
And give you treatment. (Your doc usually has to authorize these treatments, but they usually do so with no problem.)
I have had quite a few injuries to feet, ankles, legs and it is the PTs who get it all sorted out for me.
They are truly amazing.
I have found the hard way that docs and ERs are not great at treatment with these kind of injuries.
The PT will make sure that the compression bandage is needed and that it is the right kind.
They will examine the injury carefully with their hands and give you an accurate diagnosis.
And then they will give you the best treatment to make sure you are healed properly and get mobile as fast as possible.
They also do massage which helps with the pain.
