[|Human|] I have a torn ligament in left foot. My foot swells and my toes are bruised , now I have swelling on the bottom of my foot, and a knot behind my heal. I m wearing a boot, I apply ice behind my knee as directed by the ear drums. But I m getting no relief
[|AI|]  Hello, As the ligament is torn I think it's good to approach an orthopedist for the physical examination and MRI, so we can comment, is it torn completely or partially.  Based on which the team of the orthopedist will come together which even includes the physiotherapist to help you with the ankle rehabilitation program which is of utmost importance for the ankle injury, as the ankle is the weight-bearing joint and a proper rehabilitation should help you better. Using ice, wearing boots are symptomatic relief, but we need to plan a broad way of helping the ankle joint to get the maximum outcome score. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Jay In Chat Doctor.
