Suggest Treatment For Swelling In The Feet

My feet are swelled up, as well are my legs......my feet are numb and i have blisters on my feet, some of my blisters busted , I had on socks and they where soaked with blood and brown fluid. This happened due to walking on them maybe to much. So I was just wondering what could be wrong.

Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Dear patient
Swelling and blister on foot and leg may be due to inflammation and trauma to involved leg. Too much activity to which we are not accustomed may lead to this. Since oozing is brown colored blisters are hemorrhagic. impending compartment syndrome may lead to this. Strict limb elevation is advised. Avoid wearing shoes for 1 week. Ice fomentation every 2 hourly for 2 days and then less frequently. dressing with glycerine and mgso4 solution should be done. Active toe movements should be done. Tab cefixime 200 mg twice a day for 3 days to prevent infection. If swelling increases in this treatment with pain please consult surgeon nearby you asap.
