What Causes Bruising And Swelling On Foot After Shin Hurt?

I fell and hurt my shin 6 days ago. I have a knot and bruising on the shin. My concern is that now my foot is swelling and bruising. There is no pain in my foot. I had an xray of the shin and there is no fracture. Do I need to be concerned about the bruising and swelling of the foot?

Hello,Thanks for your query. After going through your query I came to know that you got injury to your shin and you got bruise( hematoma). There is no pain. You have already get x-ray and fracture excluded. Hematoma gradually resolved by itself .Thrombophob gel local application three times a day over it(no rubbing) can help in resolving it. You need not to be concerned about the bruising and swelling of the foot much. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. I do hope that you have found something helpful. 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.
