How Long Will The Swelling And Pain In The Leg Takes To Come Down Caused Due To Slipping In Ice?
Three weeks ago I slipped on the ice and fell down my front steps (3 brick steps). I cut my chin above my ankle. Saw my doctor 10 days ago. she gave me 10 days of an antibiotic. Leg is still hard and lumpy and swollen. Leg still hurts quite a bit (can barely touch it). It s now been over three weeks. It seems like it should be better. Do you think I broke a bone in my foot? Is the swelling and pain okay or should I return to the doctor?

Hello,
You need to return to see your doctor. They need to evaluate you for fracture, blood clot and infection.
