Is It Possible To Have Twisted Leg After An Electrical Shock?

i was electrically shocked about a week ago while touching a coal burning furnace. I was wet because i was showering in my basement (long story) and decided to check the fire. The shock i felt was large enough for me not to let go instantly and the ending result was a massive bruise on my foot. the bruise went away but i feel that the bone in my foot is warped, is that possible?

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

The massive bruise can be due to the local tissue injury in the area. It is less likely to affect the bone. Still an X-ray will help in finding this out.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
