I already asked in r/osaka but sadly no response. My mother came to Japan and hurt her ankles. We assume she hurt her achilles tendon but we’re not sure. She can barely walk.
Should we go to a general hospital or can we go directly to an orthopedics clinic? I assume its orthopedics? 整形外科？
If there is an ‘English speaking’ information number that we could call for more info that would be highly appreciated.

You may also want to try asking in /r/Osaka.

OP that sucks! Hope she recovers soon.
I don’t have any recommendations for English speaking, but keep in mind it’s Sunday so there’s not really anything open. You’d have to go to the hospital.
She’s unlucky this time. Oh yeah sorry I meant not today. We will go tomorrow. Thanks anyway
