If you sprain your ankle mildly, you usually limp a bit for a few days, but then the pain subsides on its own. For a moderate sprain, you may need to ice the ankle and rest for a week or two. But what about a severe sprain — the kind that makes it almost impossible to walk? For this serious of a sprain, you need to see a podiatrist. Here are three key treatments they may recommend.
An infection in the toe can be very painful. It can leave you unable to walk properly and give you constant pain even if you aren't moving. A toe infection can be caused by a number of things, including an ingrown toenail, using nail clippers that have bacteria on them, or going to a nail salon that is using un-clean tools. You can also end up with an infection in your toe by getting injured and it not healing properly.
