Posted on Fri, 7 Jun 2019
Question: My left foot is swollen and painful starting last week. Don't know if it was a bite or a stress fracture but my left calf itches too and a small blood blister formed on my shin yesterday. It's tough to walk on it too. Should I go to a walk in clinic?

Brief Answer:
Yes, surely yes.

Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Noted your history and understood the concerns.
Swollen left foot starting last week, itching left calf, blood blister on shin yesterday surely indicate that there is a possibility of insect bite or an infection that needs urgent attention.
Blood tests, X-rays and Ultrasonography (for soft tissues) along with clinical evaluation by a Doctor can surely lead to a proper diagnosis and getting started on an appropriate treatment at the earliest.
Please go to the walk in clinic.

Please give feedback.
Wishing you all the best.

With Regards.
