How To Treat Swollen Leg As Fall Down Form Chair?
I tripped on a chair and the leg came down on the top of my foot. It got really swollen and I iced it for hours and the swelling came down a lot but not entirely. It's been a week and there is still a swollen bump on the top. I can move all of my toes so I think not broken and it doesn't hurt. How long does it take for the swelling to go away? Could it be broken anyway?

Hi and welcome to HCM. Thanks for the query. it is hard to say is it broken without xrays but probbaly this is not broken and you need to put ice on it, take analgetics, rest and keep your leg elevated. Wish you good health. Regards
