I Slipped On A Ladder Hitting And Scraping My Shin
I slipped on a ladder hitting and scraping my shin about a week and a half ago. I had swelling in my shin within hours which has continued to today. I did not seek medical help. Bruising appeared about a week after slipping in the shin with more bruising going down my leg daily. Today my three little toes are all black and blue. My ankle and foot are swollen as well. I have been icing, aspirin, and elevating but symptoms seem to be continuing. The original injury spot is the only pain I am experiencing. What do I need to do different and do I need to worry about a blood clot?
