Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Ok a girl stomped on my foot with heels 3+ months ago. The dr said it isnt broken, but its still swollen. I cant wear heels and it still swells and is always bruised. It gets worse if I walk on it? The bruise turns darker. Everyday I elevate it with ice and I try to stay off it, but im a hairstylist. It doesn t seem to b getting better? So I have to stand at least 3 days a week. Can it cause long term damage? Im freaked out!
I have studied your case with diligence. There can be deep muscle and ligament injury You can take vit C for early healing. If blood persist longer internally can lead to damage to tissue leading to cartilage damage. I will advise MRI if pain persist.
If you see any signs of infection like raised local temperature, increase in pain then you should consult your doctor..
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
Wishing you good health.
