Any surgical intervention is a great stress for the body; one of the most common side effects is swelling. After leg surgery, swelling may occur within a few hours or even a day, but usually it gradually decreases and disappears within a week.
But there are cases when swelling persists for a long period. This is very worrying for patients, because the reason for this deviation is unknown, in addition, there is an obvious cosmetic defect and problems with choosing shoes. In such cases, you should not wait, it is best to consult a doctor, a specialist will help you quickly get rid of the problem and eliminate complications.
Normally, swelling of the legs after surgery occurs due to active tissue restoration. The integrity of the tissues is compromised, fluid may accumulate in them, but over time this condition disappears, the cells are restored and metabolic processes in the tissues are normalized.
It is important to note that swelling can be local and extensive; after surgery, swelling is local, since the flow of lymph and blood to the scar area increases for tissue healing. But in some cases there may be other reasons why the foot or leg swells, which indicate the development of pathology:
But if edema is not associated with thrombosis or infection, and edema is still present, other causes are considered:
It is important to understand that it is impossible to prevent swelling after surgery; even with minimally invasive interventions, slight swelling appears, let alone serious operations, especially on bones and joints. The patient's responsible attitude to the problem and compliance with all the doctor's prescriptions will quickly help relieve swelling.
If swelling bothers you for a long time, and even more so is accompanied by redness and pain, then it is recommended to go to the doctor as soon as possible. As a diagnosis, an ultrasound of the sore leg is prescribed, as well as blood and urine tests if there are signs of an inflammatory process. These methods will help identify the presence of serious complications.
Treatment will depend primarily on the test results; if thrombosis is detected, the doctor will prescribe the necessary drugs and procedures to thin the blood and dissolve the clot; surgery may also be indicated to restore blood flow. In case of inflammation, antibiotics are prescribed; if there is suppuration, then the suture is cleaned.
In other cases, edema is treated using the following methods:
If swelling persists not due to blood clots or other serious problems, then after consulting a doctor, you can try to relieve it using folk recipes and herbal decoctions. You should not experiment before going to the doctor, since if there is an infection, even sepsis may occur when using folk remedies. And with thrombosis, a clot can break off and block the pulmonary artery, causing the death of the patient.
The following recipes help with swelling in the legs:
Dr. Martin Rinio has particular experience in hip, knee and shoulder replacement surgeries. It is very important for him to work closely with general practitioners to ensure comprehensive treatment.
Our legs carry us through life - with an average life expectancy, they travel about 120,000 km! It is not surprising that sooner or later every person experiences pain in their legs. Common causes: overload, incorrect shoes, injuries, poor circulation, diabetes, congenital deformities, etc.
Today, more than a hundred surgical methods for treating hallux valgus are known. We use several surgical methods that have proven themselves in international practice to correct hallux valgus.
Due to the very prominent shape of Hallux valgus, German orthopedic specialists call this disease a “bump” or bone growth.
With valgus deviation, the metatarsophalangeal joint bends and leans toward the outside of the foot. During Hallux valgus, a swollen and inflamed head of the metatarsal bone protrudes on the 1st metatarsophalangeal joint, which prevents the person from wearing nice shoes.
Do you feel that the first toe is beginning to deviate more and more outward, as well as displacing the smaller toes? After a long walk or already in the morning, do you feel severe pain in your foot, limiting your mobility and mobility in everyday life? Then, like many other patients in the orthopedic department of our famous clinic in Freiburg, you suffer from the disease Hallux valgus (valgus deformity), during which a bony protrusion (“bone” or “bump”) forms on the inside at the beginning of the 1st toe. ).
A heel spur manifests itself in the form of acute throbbing pain in the foot and primarily in the heel. Classically, acute pain occurs at night or after a long rest. Because of these cutting pains, the patient, when walking, transfers weight to the forefoot and begins to limp. After putting a load on the foot, the pain subsides after a while, only to reappear after a longer load. Typical for heel spurs is the course of the disease episodically - with stronger and then weaker pain.
A heel spur manifests itself in the form of acute throbbing pain in the foot and primarily in the heel. Typically, acute pain occurs at night or after a long rest. Due to severe cutting pain, the patient transfers weight to the forefoot when walking and begins to limp.
Arthrosis of the metatarsophalangeal joint of the big toe (Hallux rigidus) leads to pain in the joint, loss of mobility and difficulty walking. Ultimately, this disease can lead to complete immobility of the metatarsophalangeal joint of the big toe. In this case, there is often an incorrect load on the outer side of the foot, which intensifies the patients’ complaints.
With Hallux rigidus, increasing pain and limited mobility in the metatarsophalangeal joint are observed. For a long time, the solution to the problem was arthrodesis of the joint, which, especially for women, significantly limited the choice of shoes.
Morton Neurom is a painful inflammation of the nerves in the forefoot. Morton's neuroma is often seen in patients with flat feet. Typical symptoms of Morton's neuroma include numbness or tingling in the foot and immediate pain relief after removing shoes. The most common location of pain from Morton's neuroma is between the 3rd and 4th toes.
Hallux valgus is a common orthopedic disease that changes the shape of the metatarsophalangeal joints. Curvature of the thumb is accompanied by the formation of a bone, which, with the development of pathology, increases in size and becomes inflamed.
Usually the cause of the appearance of bumps is dysplastic syndrome. This is the name for increased elasticity (hypermobility) of the joints, as a result of which an imbalance of the capsular-ligamentous apparatus occurs. The development of hallux valgus can be caused by foot injuries, wearing shoes with heels, and diseases of the endocrine system.
In the early stages, joint curvature can be stopped with the help of corrective devices, physiotherapy, and special gymnastics. In advanced cases, only surgery to remove bunions can help.
Surgical correction is not recommended for disorders of innervation and blood circulation in the foot area. The risk for cardiovascular diseases and diabetes is unjustified. Surgery on the bunions can be dangerous for older people.
In order to assess the degree of curvature of the joint, radiography of the forefoot in direct and lateral projections is mandatory. The procedure determines the presence of bone cysts, arthrosis changes in the joints, osteoporosis and evaluates the parameters of thumb deformation.
The doctor will tell you where the operation can be performed after diagnosis and collection of the necessary tests, which include:
The operation to remove a bunion on the big toe includes several techniques, the choice of which depends on the functional and anatomical features - the degree and type of deformity, the presence of associated problems, the patient’s requirements, etc.
According to the technique, there are two types of procedures:
Surgical correction can be done both in a public hospital and in a private clinic. The number of manipulations may vary, depending on the technologies used and the degree of curvature of the metatarsophalangeal joint. But most often the procedure is carried out in 4 stages.
Often, surgery to remove bunions on the feet begins with this procedure.
In the first stages of the disease, eliminating exostosis and the inflamed bursa of the metatarsophalangeal joint is usually sufficient.
The intervention is performed under epidural anesthesia using a minimally invasive method or open access. The cost of the operation in private clinics is 25–30 thousand rubles.
Patient reviews about the procedure vary, but most are positive.
Hallux valgus deformity of 2–4 degrees requires more serious intervention. The main task of the second stage is to reduce the angle between the 1st and 2nd metatarsal bones to normal. There are two types of osteotomy.
The third stage is most often intermediate. Usually cutting the abductor pollicis muscle is not enough. To achieve the desired cosmetic effect, the next part of surgical correction is necessary.
How is the operation performed at this stage? The metatarsal bone is removed from the abductor position. If the fragments are displaced, at the discretion of the surgeon, the phalanx can be fixed with a titanium screw. After surgery, sterile dressings and an elastic bandage are applied to the leg. Casting of the leg is usually not required as rehabilitation shoes are used.
If the procedure was performed openly, the dressing is done the next day. When a minimally invasive technique is used, the bandages are changed only after 2 weeks.
The total cost of surgery to remove a bunion on the big toe is 25–65 thousand rubles. You can sign up for treatment on the official website of the selected clinic, where the cost of the procedures and contact numbers for consultation are also indicated. The feasibility and method of surgical correction are determined by the doctor after a full examination.
Patients often leave reviews about the operation on the site, from which you can find out how long it will take to recover and what the consequences are.
Surgical correction of hallux valgus is a simple and fairly common procedure. Most operations are successful, but there is still a risk of complications:
Recovery after the procedure takes from 4 to 8 weeks, depending on the manipulations performed. This period of time is required for the healing of artificial fractures.
Surgery on a hallux valgus is accompanied by symptomatic therapy - taking anticoagulants, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial drugs. Treatment is prescribed in a hospital and continues at home. The doctor makes dressings every 3-4 days; it is not recommended to do them yourself, since bandages perform important fixing functions.
Rehabilitation includes:
Special orthopedic shoes must be used after bunion removal surgery. It should be worn for 4-6 weeks, depending on the condition of the bones of the feet.
Sutures are removed 15–20 days after correction, fixing bandages are removed after 3 weeks. Swelling of the legs lasts quite a long time (about 4-6 months), so at first it is advisable to use cold applications and minimize walking.
You should not go to work or drive a car earlier than a month after the operation. In the second half of the rehabilitation period, doctors strongly recommend orthopedic insoles (they can be purchased or made to order directly for the feet).
Heeled shoes can be worn after 4–6 months; the height of the first heel should not exceed 3 cm. Sports activities are allowed 5 months after surgical correction.
Hallux valgus is a serious disease that requires adequate therapy. You should not self-medicate; only a qualified doctor can determine the diagnosis and prescribe the necessary procedures. After a complete examination, the procedure and price for surgery on the big toe bone are determined.
It is completely normal to have some post-operative swelling. If the swelling is large, it must be treated urgently.
Postoperative swelling is a fairly common phenomenon. It manifests itself depending on various factors and is quite specific. The fact whether edema forms after surgery is influenced not only by the surgeon’s manipulations, but also by the individual characteristics of the patient’s body.
In most cases, leg swelling after surgery subsides on the seventh day. Sometimes it happens that the normalization process is much slower. This causes the patient a lot of inconvenience and anxiety.
Large soft tissue swelling can be observed on the second or third day after surgery. After this time they usually decrease. Complete disappearance occurs in the second or third week.
If the patient experiences postoperative swelling, this means that it is necessary to undergo an ultrasound of the lower extremities as soon as possible. Scanning (duplex) is considered to be the most effective method. Thanks to this method, it is possible to reduce the risk of such a complex and serious postoperative complication as thrombosis.
If postoperative swelling is not associated with the occurrence and progression of thrombosis, then there is an urgent need to obtain immediate consultation from an experienced phlebologist. A qualified venous specialist will prescribe strong blood thinners. In the same way, soft tissue swelling is removed.
In the event that nothing pathological happens to the patient’s veins, the main provoking factor for soft tissue swelling is lymphatic stagnation. This is explained as follows: lymphatic arteries, vessels and veins, as is known, are located throughout the human body. This is where all the “unnecessary” liquid accumulates, which contains a lot of protein. Lymphatic congestion is called lymphedema - post-operative swelling of soft tissues.
In order to quickly remove postoperative soft tissue swelling, you need to follow some simple rules.
Soft tissue swelling can be relieved using lymphatic drainage. Specially trained medical personnel can help with this. These manipulations represent an effective manual massage. In this case, both delicate stroking of the patient’s skin and a fairly deep massage of the lymph nodes are performed. Massage intended to remove postoperative swelling of soft tissues is prescribed exclusively by the attending physician. To avoid unnecessary risks, performing massage procedures on your own is prohibited.
In some cases, compression stockings are needed to relieve postoperative soft tissue swelling. The negative consequences of surgery can be removed fairly quickly. To do this, the doctor obliges patients to wear compressive tights or stockings. The duration of such therapy depends on the individual characteristics of the body.
In order to relieve soft tissue swelling as quickly as possible, most doctors recommend following a special diet, which includes limiting the consumption of tea and water. This is necessary in order to reduce the risk of increased soft tissue swelling.
The consequences of surgery can also be relieved with the help of potent diuretic drugs (furosemide, Lasix). In this case, you must strictly adhere to the recommendations of your doctor. It is extremely important to report discomfort in the lower extremities to the surgeon who performed the operation. Only he can professionally remove swelling.
You can remove swelling after removing the plaster using:
You can remove swelling after removing the plaster using spruce oleoresin.
To do this you will need the following ingredients:
To prepare the potion recommended after removing the plaster, you need to carefully grind all the ingredients, season them with olive oil, put the resulting mixture on low heat, and as soon as it boils, remove immediately.
To relieve swelling after wearing a cast, you need to apply a compress. To do this, it is recommended to fold the gauze in half, carefully filter the prepared broth and pour it into a special vessel. After all the manipulations are done, the resulting consistency is applied to painful areas and carefully fixed with a bandage. The procedure should be performed several times a day until the swelling after the cast subsides.
Removal of puffiness occurs quite quickly if you follow a number of simple recommendations:
It is extremely important to ensure that the lower limbs are always in the “up” position. When lying down, your feet should be slightly elevated with the help of special pillows or bolsters.
Everyone knows that movement is the best doctor. When performing the correct movements, blood flow throughout the body accelerates, more oxygen is delivered to tissues and organs, and wounds heal faster. Exercise after leg surgery is the most important component of the recovery process.
Bunions on the feet (in other words, hallux valgus, bone on the big toe) are often removed surgically these days. And today we will talk about special gymnastics that is performed during the rehabilitation period (restoring leg function). The main task during the rehabilitation period is to remove stiffness in the joint that connects the foot bone to the big toe. Our set of exercises is aimed specifically at eliminating stiffness and restoring full movement of the foot.
Exercises should be done every day, this will help you develop your big toe, prevent the formation of adhesions, speed up the rehabilitation process, and after 6-7 months you will even be able to wear dress shoes with heels.
This is how you need to develop a joint
You need to start with moderately intense exercise. Grab your thumb as shown in the picture - closer to its base. Gently pull your finger towards you until you feel discomfort and slight resistance.
Hold your finger in this position for 10 seconds. Repeat 3 times. Then make the same movement downwards, hold for 10 seconds. Also repeat 3 times.
Throughout the fourth week, you should perform this exercise 3 times a day.
Continue to do the same exercises, only more times - by the end of the sixth week, bring it up to 6 times a day. The amplitude of movements and intensity should be gradually increased.
We load the foot with our own weight
Starting from the 7th week, begin exercises that load your foot with your body weight. From a standing position, lift your heels up, as in the figure, without lifting your toes from the floor. Stay like this for 10 seconds (if it is very painful or difficult, start with a shorter period of time). Calmly lower your heels.
A good exercise after the 7th week is walking uphill (you can use a treadmill).
Another effective exercise is walking with long strides; it helps expand the range of motion in the joints of the foot that need to be developed.
There is another good exercise, do it after the 7th week 6 times a day. It is somewhat reminiscent of the first, with the difference that with one hand you fix your foot, and with the other you first stretch your toe forward,
How to do exercises after surgery
and then pull it up and fix it in this position for 10 seconds. Repeat three times, then do the same exercises in a downward direction.
The figure clearly shows how to grasp the finger and foot, and the arrows indicate in which direction the hands should be moved. Remember that the foot itself must always be kept straight.
After removing cones on your legs, exercises after surgery should be performed regularly, then rehabilitation after surgery will be successful and you will completely restore movement in your joints.
Please leave your comments in the box below or ask your question:
Tell me, is it still not too late to start developing the joint if more than 2 months have passed since the operation?
Joints can and should ALWAYS be developed until old age. And then too.
Please tell me whether it is normal for joints not to recover simultaneously after
resection arthroplatic chevron reconstruction of the first metatarsophalangeal joint of both feet? I encountered this situation for the first time and was very surprised when the operating doctor explained to me that this is how the brain works: first one leg heals, then only the other. The operation took place on December 23, 2016, i.e. a month and a half has passed. On the right foot, the swelling has subsided, there is no pain, the joint is mobile. On the left foot, swelling in the joint area persists, numbness of the big toe, a burning sensation when touching the skin in the area of the operation, slight swelling and hyperemia; joint mobility is less than on the right foot. At the moment, a repeat X-ray has been taken, the bones have fused, the following prescriptions include: dry heat, gel with NSAIDs, gymnastics, shoes with orthopedic insoles.
Nadezhda, if you doubt the competence of doctors, then why go to the clinic, why follow the prescriptions?
Believe that any doctor knows more about diseases and their treatment options than you.
Another question is that doctors are part of society, they are not aliens. This means that they have all human advantages and disadvantages.
Good afternoon, the doctor suggests having surgery on both legs at once. Will I be able to move independently and how soon, at least around the apartment?
Natalya, in principle, if you have the opportunity not to strain your legs for a while, then this option is possible.
No one can predict the recovery time. How it goes. Sometimes a “surprise” pops up.
I’m not scaring you, but you should always count on both a positive outcome and the possibility of “surprise”.
Thank you very much for the useful information! I received more information from you than from the doctors of our hospital. I have just passed 2 weeks after the operation
It's been 4 weeks since my surgery. The lump under the scar from the stitches between the first and second fingers is confusing. It is very hard, it even seems as if it were bone. Please tell me is this normal? All will pass ?
Nastya, I would like to know the opinion of the attending physician.
Thank you very much for the important information. After discharge, they also didn’t tell me how or what to do; they limited themselves to the phrase “work out the joint.” After the operation, I do all the exercises as indicated above and thanks to this I have already returned to the gym, only because of the swelling I can’t put on shoes yet ((I train in socks, from cardio exercises: walking on a treadmill uphill (as you advise) , exercise bike and ellipse. I started smearing the scars with Contractubix from the 23rd day. I have a question about the thumb, it is not mobile, there is no sensitivity in the incision area, approximately when will the nerve endings be restored? This worries me a little..
Milita, training in socks on the treadmill is preferable even in your condition. Why is it better to walk uphill? By the way, change the inclination of the track gradually too. So, the gait uphill is exactly what you need - from heel to toe. This is also for developing the thumb.
Just be aware that you have damaged the nerves and blood vessels that supply blood to the cells in the tissues of your thumb. Now the damaged nerves and blood vessels should regrow. At what speed are they growing? This is approximately a micron per day. So estimate how many days it takes to restore 3 - 4 centimeters.
Work in the gym, only gradually, without overload (you need to feel the overload and stop it in time in each workout) and the sensitivity of the thumb will be restored. As a rule, after 2 - 3 months you will be able to forget about the problems.
Thank you very much for the advice and exercises. I have surgery on both feet. It’s very difficult, but I try to do the exercises that were shown. Thank you.
Health, Alfiya and good luck in life.
Hello, I had surgery on my right leg on September 28, 2015. I like to play sports, when can I start running at the stadium, can I jump rope? Thank you.
Larisa, first of all, you should find out the opinion of the attending physician, who has objective indicators and has observed the dynamics of the rehabilitation process. In any case, here are some tips for you.
1. You definitely cannot categorically start running at the same distance and pace that you had BEFORE the operation. The principle of gradually increasing the load is the main thing in the rehabilitation of professional athletes. That is, you need to start small and constantly “listen” to the sensations in your sore leg.
First, ten steps on a non-hard surface. Fine?
Tomorrow 20 steps. Fine?
Tomorrow you can do 10 steps at an accelerated pace. Fine?
Tomorrow 20 steps at an accelerated pace. Fine?
Tomorrow 60 sec. running at a pace of 3 km per hour.
Of course, the numbers are relative, but start rehabilitation small and gradually increase the load.
2. Exit to the stadium. I don't think the running track surface at your stadium is comfortable for your current condition. Therefore, it may be better to find a path (only flat, so as not to immediately load the ankle after a forced break) with a soft surface. Either a flat path in the nearest park, or a cinder path at the stadium. Still, you shouldn't run at your usual pace for a while.
3. Ignore those around you who may know you as a good runner. Professionals will understand, but amateurs don’t even need to understand.
4. Recovery time is very individual. Everything depends on how you feel.
Finally I found something. I will definitely try to do the exercises. Otherwise, the doctor at the local clinic simply silently renews the bollist. I do the exercises on my own, but I am worried about swelling in the ankle area in the evening. I’ve been wearing a splint for 2 months now after the shede logrene operation. Maybe you can recommend something else?
Tell me, if the bone was sawed, are these exercises also suitable?
Hallux valgus has already become a scourge of the modern lifestyle of women in developed countries. The fashion for shoes, of course, is beautiful, but absolutely unphysiological, the widespread occurrence of “standing” professions, lack of physical activity and much more leads to the development of not only a cosmetic defect, but also a serious orthopedic problem.
You should start thinking about surgery if:
When determining the need for surgical treatment, the orthopedic traumatologist also takes into account the general condition of the patient. Severe chronic diseases, such as arterial hypertension that is difficult to treat, severe atherosclerosis with damage to the arteries of the legs, diabetes mellitus with high blood glucose levels, heart failure with severe edema, can lead to the fact that the operation of bunions on the legs will be ineffective due to prolonged and incomplete healing of foot structures.
The main goal of any surgical intervention for a bump on the joint of the big toe is to restore its correct axis and relieve the load on the metatarsophalangeal joint. In addition, indicators such as maximum curvature elimination, minimal trauma and recovery time are taken into account, which is especially important for elderly patients who often live alone.
An addition to this hallux valgus operation is the removal of the bunion on the big toe. The so-called exostosis, which occurs in response to chronic irritation of the bone by uncomfortable shoes, is simply resected (cut down) to restore the normal shape of the foot.
Minimally invasive surgery for bunions on the legs, the cost of which can exceed the price of traditional methods, is carried out using special cutters, similar to dental ones. Through two small punctures, instruments are inserted under the skin and using sawing movements they level the metatarsus bone to restore its axis (bumps on the legs are removed). After this, the joint capsule expands, which helps the bone take the required position. This surgical intervention is least likely to be accompanied by infectious complications and postoperative swelling, and the fastest rehabilitation is observed after it.
In an outpatient setting, rehabilitation typically lasts two to three weeks. Loading of the operated leg begins in the first days. On average, it takes up to a month to restore working capacity. All this time, a special orthosis is worn, which helps redistribute the load on the foot to the heel area. This orthosis has a thick sole, higher in the toe area and lower in the rear of the foot.
The result of the intervention is noticeable immediately after the surgeon ties the last knot. Patients operated by traumatologists experience discomfort only in the first days, when there is swelling and some immobility associated with the creation of new connections between the structures of the foot. Gradual development through gymnastics and self-massage, as well as gradual loading, allows you to achieve good results in a short time.
If surgery for a bunion on your foot near the big toe is not indicated for you or you are simply afraid of it, then a foot bandage for bunions can help you, the price of which will, naturally, be significantly lower than the cost of surgery and subsequent rehabilitation.
A bunion on the foot (or, as it is otherwise called, a plantar wart) is an extremely painful neoplasm, similar in appearance to an ordinary callus. However, it does not appear from wearing tight shoes. The cause of its appearance is the human papilloma virus. We will tell you more about what this “viral callus” is and, most importantly, how to remove it, in this article.
If you look at the spine up close (especially after taking a bath), you will notice individual thread-like processes. The thorn can not only cause you severe discomfort when walking, but also bleed.
Interesting fact: when you press on the tumor, you will feel a sharp pain - the sensation is similar to being pricked by a plant thorn. Perhaps that is why the people called the thorn that way.
This is what the spine looks like on an enlarged scale
The causative agent of the disease is the human papillomavirus. It can be contracted from a sick person through direct contact with him or through his household items. Entering the body and being activated there under the influence of certain factors, this virus can cause the appearance of a spine on the foot. But this doesn't always happen. Not all people who have this virus in their body will necessarily develop a spine. It is formed only when the virus is activated due to weakened immunity.
To protect yourself from the appearance of spines, try to follow these recommendations:
In order to comply with personal hygiene rules, it is better to have separate slippers for guests
If a spine has already appeared on your foot, getting rid of it is quite possible. For this purpose the following methods are used today.
To get rid of the spine, local therapy is prescribed, and these are not only gels and ointments, but also special medicinal patches. One of them is the Salipod patch. It is glued to the wart and is not removed for several days. Then the patch is carefully peeled off, and the wart, which has softened significantly during this time, is carefully cut off. Then the patch is applied again for several days and the softened surface is cut off again, continuing in this way until the neoplasm is completely removed. This procedure is not at all painful, as it might seem at first glance.
These patches can be used to remove not only the spine, but also old corns.
To get rid of the spine, other medications are also used, for example, Cantharidin. It is applied to the affected area of the skin, the leg is wrapped in a dry bandage, and after 1-2 weeks the wart is cut off. Such treatment can only be carried out by a doctor; it is dangerous to carry out the procedure yourself.
Treatment of spine using cryodestruction method
You can also get rid of the spine using a pulsed laser. This procedure is considered today perhaps the most effective. It is performed under local anesthesia. The wart simply falls off under the influence of the laser.
Previously, this method was in first place, but today it is used quite rarely. Firstly, there are more gentle methods. Secondly, it has a number of significant disadvantages:
We are not talking about taking multivitamin complexes, but about introducing special medications into the body of the wart, for example, Interferon.
In order to remove a wart, various traditional methods are used: herbal decoctions, various lotions, compresses, etc. Which ones exactly, read on.
If a thorn appears on your leg, see if there is a Kalanchoe on your windowsill. This home plant is an effective remedy for its removal.
Spine can be treated in different ways, but it is better if therapy is prescribed not on the advice of a friend, but after consulting a doctor.
As the name suggests, you will need some grated onions and a little vinegar. Pour the onion paste over it. The compress should not be applied to the entire skin of the foot, but specifically to the spine. To do this, take a patch, cut a hole of the required size in it and stick it on the foot so that the wart is in this hole. After this, apply the onion-vinegar mixture and cover it with a whole piece of plaster on top. This compress is done at night, three times in a row.
It is quite possible to remove a painful tumor with the help of ordinary nettle. Chop the plant, place it on a clean burdock leaf, wrap it around your foot, tie something on top and put a sock (preferably wool) on your foot. The compress is also done at night and repeated 2-3 times.
In order to cure the thorn, you can also make compresses with potatoes, horseradish, garlic or Kalanchoe.
Treatment with compresses is the most suitable way to treat spines in a child. This does not cause any fear in the baby, unlike hardware methods
You can purchase celandine extract at the pharmacy and treat damaged skin with it by moistening a cotton swab in the product.
It is common among people to treat spine with iodine, which is likely to be found in everyone’s first aid kit. The wart is smeared with the product several times a day, and after a while it disappears.
It is very important to remove the spine completely, otherwise even a small remaining root can cause a relapse, and it will have to be treated again.
A splint on the foot is not only unpleasant, but also very painful, so the best option is to prevent its occurrence. To do this, you need to follow the rules of personal hygiene (especially when in public places), treat every wound that appears in a timely manner, and make sure that your feet do not sweat too much. However, if the thorn has already appeared, it is quite possible to get rid of it. It can be treated with both special medications and hardware techniques and traditional medicine. There are many ways today. However, it is better to entrust the choice of one or another option to your doctor. In this case, you can be sure that the spine will be removed permanently, and a relapse will definitely not occur.
