Could I Have Broken A Bone As I Have Tenderness And Swelling?
I feel down the stairs two weeks ago, bruised my knee and shin which is somewhat faded now, I can walk fine but still tender to the touch, now my heel has a bruise on it and ankle is swollen, also have a fever, could I have broken a bone even though I am walking ok?

Hi
If you are walking fine than its rare chances to have a fracture. Pain and swelling may be due to soft tissue injury also. But is fever is there some infective cause has to be ruled out. Get an x ray done to rule out the fracture. Ice paks will give you some relief.
Thanks
