Hello, I dropped a very heavy oak bench on my foot about two months ago. I watched the entire top of my foot just blow up with blood/swelling with in seconds after right before my eyes, it grew, to the point it stretched the skin taunt. I did go to the ER as it was very painful. I had an xray done and was told it was not broken, however I did feel like I was being treated as tho I was only seeking pain meds, which I did not ask for and will not even take. I felt rather foolish to begin with, and I ve tried to ignore the pain since and its made me not want to seek further medical care for it. Its been a little over two months, and while most of the bruising is gone, there is still bruising and swelling present, all the way up into my ankle. I cannot put weight on the outside of my foot, and have resorted to only being able to wear certain types of flat, open top/face shoes. If anything goes across the top of my foot, or even a slight bump, it immediately sweels worse and rebruises. I have developed a very painful hard knot directly on top of two of the bones towards the outter part of my foot. It concerns me because it almost seems like a random bone growth were there should not be. The knot is visible thru the skin. Is it possible that my xray was misread? I can t help but think that this is more than a traumatic bruise as was diagnosed. I was told to use crutches and to follow up with an ortho but again, I felt completely dejected after my er visit, and embarrassed. I did not take the crutches because I was told it wasn t broken, and I was given a shoe for it but the shoe was too incredibly painful to wear (as it buckles over the top and is very heavy). Should I see another Dr and ask for another xray? I would think it would have healed by now? Thank you.
