What To Do When Foot Run Over Turns White ,numb And Cold?
My boyfriend got his foot run over last night. He was getting in the car and the driver started moving forward without realizing everybody was in. his foot was under the tire at least 10 seconds before we got the driver to back up. He was able to walk on it last night, and he took some ibuprofen for the pain. this morning he woke up and his foot is white, numb and cold to the touch. he says there is no bruising or swelling. I am very worried that something is wrong.

Hi,
These are symptoms that indicate he should be seen in the ER for a full assessment. They may indicate an alteration in the blood supply to his foot.
