Suggest Remedy For Pain And Soreness Due To Injury On Ankle

My name is Louise Kurata I live in Santa Clarita, Ca. One week ago today a Large heavy glass fell out of my cupboard, crashed on the counter, then the floor after hitting my ankle. I didn t realize I was hurt at that time. I had a black sock on and couldn t see blood coming out. I was just so concerned about all the splintered glass on my floors. when I got it cleaned up and vacuumed, I got ready for a shower and saw my sock loaded with blood and blood all over my foot. I freaked out,because I live alone,but grabbed gauze,tapped it up while getting a shower. Then I put hydrogen peroxide on it, neosporon sauve and a dressing. Then I elevated my foot,with an ice pad for 20 minutes. Kept doing that 3 or 4 times after that. Still now after one week if I m on my feet for long times it gets swollen. A few minutes ago I crossed my right leg over my left,hit the sore spot and the pain was horrible!!!!My concern is that there is a piece of glass inside my ankle,because I hurts so much right in that place where it bleed. Can you please give me some advice as what you think I should do next? Ms. Kurata Thanks

Hi kurata
thanks for your question. I have gone through your detailed description of injury.
I think swelling and bleed in your case is due to injury to a vein. There might be glass price in the wound. Get a ultrasound done. May also need surgical exploration.
Best luck
