My ex, 67 yo woman, stroke 7 months ago. Right arm and leg and speech seriously impaired. She is in a wheel chair.
She constantly complains about pain in her foot. It's been looked at.
Bad circulation is the diagnosis.
Whats recommended. Ibprofen, heat, elevate foot, compression sock.
is there anything else to try?
thanks

I would ask the doctor for a PT consult about this foot. Get passive exercises you can do, and perhaps that fitted foam or metal and foam brace. I sure wish you luck.
Is this "real" pain or phantom pain?
Massage therapy might help as well as other methods to increase circulation
