default
Posted on Sun, 12 Jul 2020
Question: Hi, something very heavy fell on the top of my foot. About an inch up from where your toes join the foot. It hurt and throbbed quite a bit for the first day and after that sore to touch or where a shoe. It was quite bruised and swollen. Now, a week later. It is swollen on the top and a fairly clear blue line is showing up where it hurts to touch. It also hurts to bend my toes down or up. Any advice is appreciated.

Brief Answer:
Can be hematoma with bone injury .

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.

The pain and blue line with tenderness and swelling is suggestive of hematoma - an internal soft tissue injury . This can be associated with a bone injury like fracture . You need to get it X-rayed to find if there is any bone injury .Keep the foot elevated on two pillows and let the swelling subside . Avoid all painful movement .

I hope this answers your query.

In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.

Wishing you good health.

Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
