Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..
I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns....
As per your complain the first thing that you should do is to get an x ray done to rule out for bony
fracture by an Orthopedician..
In case if there is bony fracture then reduction and fixation will be done..
But in case if there is no fracture then it might be only
soft tissue injury..
As it is bruised and swollen it is due to soft tissue injury and swelling is due to accumulation of inflammatory fluid,cells, swollen injured fibres and blood..
Bruising is due to blood accumulation in that area secondary to ruptured blood vessels due to injury..
Feeling of pins and needles can be due to inflamed and injured nerve ending in the foot secondary to injury..
I would suggest you that if there is soft tissue injury you can do alternate warm and cool compresses over the foot..
You can apply a heparin gel as well as
analgesic gel like
Diclofenac in that area..
Take
Ibuprofen to relieve pain..
Elevate your leg while lying down..
Hope this information helps..
Thanks and regards.
