Can Fracture Be The Reason For Severe Pain And Bruise In The Foot?
I was coming down my garage steps and jumped down the last one, or so i thought, and it ended up being more than one and my heel landed really hard on the step and instant shooting pain in my foot began. I noticed immediate bruising around the middle of my foot and immediately after landing on my heel i could barely walk on it. Several hours have passed and the bruise is getting darker and Im in excruciating pain when i put pressure on it. Is it possible I broke the heel of my foot?
hi To rule out fracture go to ER and have xrays taken and protective padding, pain and anti-inflammatory drugs needed, keep foot elevated and do icing if less than 12 hours or hot fomentation if more time elapsed.restrict all foot movements and weight bearing on foot till ER clears or does management best wishes
