I Fell Down Some Stairs 2 Weeks Ago, And Ended
I fell down some stairs 2 weeks ago, and ended up hurting my shin really
bad. Within minutes it turned bright blue. With in 30 minutes my shin was extremely swollen. The first few days it was hard to walk on, but it became easier by the days. After a week, the bruising covered my whole shin. It now has moved all the way to my toes. Now, my foot is actually swollen and bruised. The point of impact on my shin is a huge knot that is red in color and very warm to touch. My shin and foot still hurts when I walk. However, when I'm sitting or laying there with it elevated, there is a tightness in it. What could that be? Why is my foot swollen and bruised after a few days? I have had an X-ray on my shin and nothing is broken. I'm confused on what to do. Do I need to go see a doctor.
