Suggest Remedy For Swelling & Bruises In Foot
I rolled my foot very slightly 7 days ago. I experienced severe swelling and bruising and today being day 7, I can still barely walk on it...my foot is still swollen and the bruising is moving towards my toes which are very numb. I have been completing the r.i.c.e regimen strictly but I m concerned by the pain in my upper foot when trying to walk over a week later. Am I being to impatient or is there something else I can try?

Hello,
Looking at details, I shall advise you to consult to your doctor and have an X-ray of affected foot. Till then you should keep your foot elevated on a pillow. Take rest and apply an ace bandage starting from below upwards.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mukesh Tiwari, Orthopedic Surgeon
