I went to the orthopedic surgeon after my foot slipped under the bed and hit my left leg hard. At first, I thought it was just a simple bruise, but as time passed, the swelling got worse and the pain became so bad that I couldn't put weight on it, so I was worried. Dr. Kim Han-gyu immediately took an X-ray and explained that, while fortunately it wasn't a major fracture, he suspected microfractures and ligament damage. He showed me the images and explained in an easy-to-understand way why a cast was needed, which gave me confidence. Treatment initially included cold compresses and anti-inflammatory injections to reduce swelling, followed by a cast. Even while the cast was in place, they constantly checked to ensure the pressure wasn't excessive, which was very comforting. They even provided detailed instructions on walking precautions and how to use crutches, making daily life easier. I appreciated the fact that they didn't recommend unnecessary hospitalization or excessive procedures, but instead focused on a gradual recovery process. I felt a stinging sensation for the first two or three days after the cast was applied, but it was significantly relieved after taking medication. After about three weeks, the pain was significantly reduced. I was reassured by the regular checkups.
