What Causes Swelling And Bruising On The Foot After An Injury?
Foot is swelling, red, black and blue after bumping the lower shin while on blood thinner (coumadin.) INR 4.1 , should have been 2.0-3.0. Toes are not cold so Dr.said let s watch it and get off thinners, and get another INR on Monday. Plus we will let him see it. But the ankle and whole foot is getting uglier and uglier. Bump did not appear until Tuesday 2 days after the injury.

What Causes Swelling And Bruising On The Foot After An Injury?
Hello, It is due to local contusion or sprain. Fracture is unlikely. As of now you can use analgesics/anti-inflammatory combination like aceclofenac/serratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief. You can also apply icepacks for faster recovery. If symptoms persist better to consult an orthopedician and plan for an MRI scan. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
