Doctor- Orthopedics/ Physical Therapy
OK. I admit I am getting older. I twisted my ankle and it is not a simple sprain I think. A friend told me to go to Hamad but I am scared of Emergency rooms and the Xray Ibuprofen, oh there is nothing wrong routine- HMO paranoia.
Are there any good ortho clinics? Also what is the level of quality at Hamad?
qd
the first thing to do so as not to aggravate it when u get urself a sprain until u get to a dr that is, is
R- rest the extremity
I- ice it to help control pain and swelling
E- elevate it also to to minimize swelling
pain is actually good indication, it means no nerve was damaged that u can still feel pain.
see ur doctor. goodluck!
by all standards Hamad has the best facilities and probaby the best of doctors also, so better go there than making your ankle more worse.
