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.
Tenderness On Foot, No Pain Unless Touched, Swelling. Taken Aleve. Tingling. Will This Pass?
Yesterday my 4 year old son accidently stepped on my foot , the veins on top of my foot became very tender. They were bulging for a few minutes but then subsided. The area is very tender to the touch but does not cause me any pain unless I touch it in one particular spot. However, around 2 p.m. today I noticed that my leg (same side as the tender foot) is beginning to swell . I took 2 alleve hoping that would help with inflammation. My leg does not hurt but feels a little tingly (hardly noticeable) but does feel tight and swollen. Will this pass or do I need to be concerned. Thank you.

Hello kenblee, Thanks for posting your query You had an injury over your foot & after that there was swelling & it is tender to touch. It might be soft tissue injury. But if swelling & tenderness persist , it can be a fracture. So you need a x-ray to rule out fracture. So you have to visit an orthopaedic surgeon for exam. of foot & treatment plan acc. to that.
