Foot injury – desperate
(2 discussions)
I play semi-professional soccer and 6 weeks ago took a blow to the top of my foot.X-rays showed no fracture. I now have pain running down the inside arch of my foot and on top of the foot. The pain is at its worst when I try to stand on my toes and I can’t support my weight.
My pyhsio says that it is bruising of the tendon and soft tissue and electric currents will break up the bruising. The pain doesn’t seem to be getting better. Has anybody experienced something similar?

Thanks Paul
I have changed physio’s and am now getting laser treatment as well as ultrasound.. the pain in the arch has gone but the physio has said that a mid foot sprain takes a long time to heal. It is now 8 weeks – does anyone know of any strength exercises I could use

yOUR PHYSIO IS CORRECT,THESE INJURIES TAKE QUITE A LONG TIME TO HEAL PROPERLY AND ARE QUITE PAINFUL,
