Hi ! Good morning. i am Dr Shareef answering your query.

Yes ! Bursting of a vein or a fracture of a bone could give rise to a blood collection which manifests itself as a lump (hematoma). With your description of the lump, and restriction of movements, a fracture has to be ruled out and so I would advise you to visit either an orthopedic surgeon or the nearest ER of a hospital in your area for a physical examination and related investigations like a plain X ray of your involved foot to rule out the fracture. Further management would depend on the reports. Till then, you could go for an anti inflammatory drug along with a proton pump inhibitor drug.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
