You need to do good activity either in a gym or under the guidance of a physiotherapist. Postural correction exercises are important to correct the disturbed posture. Swimming activities can also be done to improve the muscular flexibility however the leg length from hip or pelvis to medial malleolus (ankle) is less it is important to compare both the leg measurements and we have to correct the foot wear by raising the heel inches by 1-3 inches which will be helpful or else we can also add heel cushion which is available ready made in the surgical shops and it can be worn inside the shoes. This will definitely help you to improve the walking pattern ie. The gait pattern, later let us know after trying all these we will help you. You can also take consultation with us personally where we can call & speak with you to give you good and number of valuable suggestions. ?do contrast bath ie. Take two tubs in one you can fill hot water (ie. Bearable heat) to immerse the feet in the tub and you will have good effect ie. Warmth effect. Further to that wipe with towel and immerse the feet in the cold water (ie. Ice water bath) which will help you to reduce the inflammation. Once this is done you can do some ankle movements to both the feet which will help you to boost and improve the blood circulation. As I said over the phone please use anklet which I have already sent by whats app and you can use mcrchappals which will help you to reduce the weight falling on the injured front portion of the foot. If you have the habit of using shoes then you can keep removable insoles which can be used inside the shoes and that acts like a shock absorber and which will also help to reduce and prevent the weight falling on the injured foot. This is the way to reduce the inflammation through home remedy. If the pain persists say for example after doing for 5-7 days then you have to consult physiotherapist where they will treat you with infra red radiation. But this is quite a rare treatment, if in case it is not available, let mundere know we can send it to you by courier. It is quite expensive but you will feel good results with that. This will help you to reduce the inflammation in the bone ie. Which is caused by the table which fell on your foot. You can thrombophob ointment to reduce the contusion and also to loosen and break the blood clot which is there in the front portion of the foot. It will also help you to change the skin colour. If the pain is too much then you can take ultracet tablet every day in the night. Keep two pillows under the ankle while sleeping on the bed which will help you to reduce the swelling. Hope you recover with this. And also please share your feed back if you become better. If you do not become better too pls let us know so that we can give some alternate solution. Please send your address so that we can send the products ie. Anklet to use it in the ankle / foot, mcrchappals for your size and also the removable foot insole.

Regards Lybrate user. The concern that you are citing may be "trigger point" in the muscle. Trigger points are very painful to pressure and may occur in muscle due to an in-coordinated effort or overactivity of a muscle. Also trigger points do not occur in isolation, as there is always a chain of muscle activity in lower extremity (i.e. Legs). They are however simple to be treated. It is recommended that you consult a physiotherapist directly to know more or you may consult us for an online consult.
