Suggest Treatment For Leg Pain, Bruising And Swelling

4 weeks ago i hurt my leg, felt something rip/pop instant pain, and burning, swelling and bruising..went to A&E they said I had torn my Achilles really bad, nearly a full rupture, so put cast on etc..ive see a consultant who had told me nothing and made me feel like I shouldn t have been there and wasn t important, wouldn t answer my questions and told me to get out and go wait for a new cast..they took cast off put me in an air cast high rises boot..said come back in 2 weeks..meantime ive been in a lot of pain, leg still swollen and my toes and foot hurt as I felt the same pain in them two days after consultant appointment two weeks ago as I did when my leg had this damage happen, and now they have bumps on and feel like they re cracking when touched and stuff is moving around inside my foot..went to see consultant yesterday he said nothing again sent me to see physio where i cried in pain (as in tears) due to having my foot forced down ward with my legs up on the hospital bed, like to fully point them like a ballerina and something went pop then too, took the boot off me put on tubeygrip and gave me a sheet of exercises to do..then discharged me. Got home and still in agony leg very swollen etc, and they didn t give me wedges for my shoes like I was told I needed to have to aid healing and refused to answer my questions and sent me home with nonfirther appointments... So I have no idea what is wrong with me but it feels no better than it did four weeks ago at all, if anything worse... I ve had no Cray and no scans of any sort. sorry it s long winded I m just extremely stressed about it as have no idea what is going on and its keeping me off work, thank you
