What Causes Pain And Itching On The Feet After An Injury?
I dropped a heavy object on my foot eight days ago. Went to ER. X-ray showed chil. But unsure if it is an old or new chip. Big Motrin tablet calmed the pain.Improvement going along well.Fifth day I wore shoes on the foot. It felt okay. Walked and drove.That night there was lots of itching. I rubbed the foot. Next day the foot had added red to the bruise. It had been painful ever since Wednesday. Must use crutch now and hobble a lot.

Hi,
The redness with pain indicates possible cellulitis at the injury site.
Primary relief with ice pack application and definite care with your consultant in terms of antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicines.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
