You can tell with X-rays, but it's really not worth it. The treatment is much the same- cooling, rest and elevation. A hairline fracture doesn't normally require a cast, so just be prudent in your activities for six to eight weeks.

This statement is not true. A bruise is a contusion, which is a fancy word for an injury that causes capillaries to leak blood which causes a bruise. You might be thinking of the word concussion, which is a severe head injury, but without a broken skull. After a head injury or concussion, you should stay awake or have someone check on you every hour and wake you up. The reason is a concussion can cause someone to become unconscious or even die from the brain injury.

Foot fracture why cant i take ibuprofen?

You may be advised against taking ibuprofen for a foot fracture because it can interfere with the healing process. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen can inhibit certain enzymes that are important for bone repair. Additionally, they may mask pain, leading to increased risk of further injury if you are not aware of your limits. Always follow your doctor's recommendations regarding pain management and recovery.
