Suggest Treatment For A Swollen Foot And Engorged Veins
I hit my foot while walking. I hit a wheel chair pretty hard and heard a pop. I can bend my little toe but i got a bruise and now my foot looks swollen. I also noticed that the veins on the outer part of the left foot are engorged and after elevating the foor the throbbing pain stops and the veins dissapear.

Hello,
It could be a contusion.
As of now you can immobilise the foot and apply ice packs.
Generally, the symptoms will settle in two to three days.
If persists you can consult an orthopedician and plan for an MRI scan.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
