Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Foot Injury, Bluish Purple Swelling, Bump On Vein, Radiating Pain To Toes, Knees. Pain Due To Bruising Or Internal Damage?
A thin board fell vertically across the top of my foot about 20 minutes ago. There is a blue/purple swelling about size of quarter raised like a bump on vein . I used ice with my foot elevated but it radiates pain and hurts to my toes and up to knees especially if I stand. The board was not too heavy but fell straight onto vein. Can this pain be just from bruising or is it possible to have more damage?
I would suggest you to keep applying ice and also diclofenac gel and tablet Brufen for pain relief. Id your pain does not decrease in 2 days you should get the x ray also.I think it is a soft tissue injury and nothing serious.
