  - Limiting broken foot symptom activities initially: Wandering caused increased pain, so that i wanted to protect it for many hours and see how it recovered.
  
  : Ice to area: Ice was organized to reduce swelling and may decrease pain significantly. This is a key part of treating any injury.
  
  - Heat to area: Although ice was helping, it was eventually insufficient to decrease your pain. Heat (compared to ice) increases the blood flow to the area and can help remove "junk" that this body has after a wound. Alternating hot and cold is usually a great idea, but cold should be final or the base will swell significantly.
  
  - Compressive Wrap: Placing an elastic or ace wrap to your foot and ankle improved support it and decrease the pain. RICE is a good acronym (Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation).
  
  - Vibration: On a soccer field, a football field or by a track, it is easy to evaluate an injury for bone involvement using a tuning fork and assessment the injured area. When a bone is broken, that usually will hurt much more with vibration. In my case, however, it didn't hurt to vibrate.
  
  - X-ray: With the previously mentioned treatments, and the addition of ibuprofen or some other anti-inflammatory, often the soreness improves. Since mine was getting worse over time, I knew it was time on an X-ray. Through taking my own x-ray, I was able to diagnose a broken bone inside foot.
  
  - Protection in a Cast Boot: There are multiple options for treating a broken foot, from a ankle brace to your post-op shoe to a cast or boot. I find the boot as it affords the protection of a cast but the ease of showering without keeping the foot dry up (Besides, it is hard to cast your own foot.) The footwear, however, is to be utilized as a cast, except removal with regard to showers (ie. My organization is sleeping in the boot too.)
  
  Other things you're able to do include pain medications, but I wanted to see the progress of the healing and didn't want to interfere with the sensations. This is for my learning (along with the pain hasn't been that bad).
  
  So if you break your fifth metatarsal, you should likewise undergo many of these treatments and may even need treatments by a foot and ankle specialized.

  Chronic wounds like diabetic foot ulcer are very common and a substantial threat to well-being with patients. About 24 million people in the us alone, suffer from diabetes together with around 18 percent of these people encounter chronic chronic wounds like foot ulcer that not heal. Many these wounds eventually result in amputation. There is as much 45 times higher chance of amputation in diabetes patients. The two primary causes of development of diabetic foot ulcers are neuropathy and narrowing of arteries.
  
  Diabetic neuropathy affects the nerves that enable sensations by carrying the messages from the brain to different areas of the body. Peripheral artery disease, which causes narrowing of arteries due to formation of deposits inside arteries, is common in diabetes patients. It reduces the flow of blood to the affected areas and this also lack of blood supply hampers the wound healing process. Foot ulcer can be prevented by regularly reviewing for signs of trouble like broken skin and also cuts that don't repair.
