Could Discolored, Swollen And Painful Foot After Twisted Foot Be Torn Tissue?

FELL AND INJURED FOOT OVER A YEAR AGO. WHEN I FELL, MY FOOT TWISTED UNDER INSIDE MY SHOE AND I CAME DOWN ON TOP OF IT. WENT TO DOCTORS NEXT DAY, X-RAYED AND SAID NOTHING BROKEN,JUST BADLY BRUISED. IT TOOK ABOUT THREE DAYS FOR THE BRUISE TO FULLY COME OUT. MY FOOT WAS A SOLID BRUISE FROM MY TOES UP TO MY ANKLE AND SWOLLEN. I NEVER WENT BACK TO THE DOCTOR. IT HAS BEEN OVER A YEAR AND THERE IS AN AREA ON TOP OF MY FOOT DOWN BY MY TOES THAT IS STILL DISCOLORED AND SWOLLEN. IT IS A LITTLE PAINFULL. WHAT DO YOU THINK. MAYBE I TORE SOME SOFT TISSUE?

Hello,

It looks from your details that ou had a severe injury.I think it was a mistake to not to revisit Doctor.It can be one of grade 2/3 tear of collateral ligament.

Now it is in chronic phase.If you are still facing pain on special movement & there is instability on some movement then I shall advise you to attend your orthopedic doctor.He may advise you aMRI to rule out any serious problem.

Till then i will advise you to wear an ankle support like anklet.You may have a good analgesic like advil or aleeve for relief.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Mukesh Tiwari
