Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My wife ran into a box this past Monday and bruised her shin pretty badly. We thought it was a typical bruise and did nothing for it. However, 5 days later her swelling has not gone down and her foot has had bruising on both sides, instep and top. She is now icing and elevating it and we re unsure if we should go to an emergency room to have it looked at.
