Suggest Treatment For Pain And Swelling In Foot And Ankle Due To An Injury
2 weeks ago, heavy framed mirror fell off my wall and bounced off my lower left inner shin. The pain was horrible and it left a big red bruise. Now, 2 weeks later, my left ankle and foot is swelling and the area is very painful to touch. Should I go to a Dr.?

Hi,
To guide you properly, we need an X-ray. If not yet done, get it done as soon as possible. Till then, apply ice pack, apply Diclofenac gel and ice fomentation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Jaideep Gaver, Orthopedic Surgeon
