Suggest Treatment For Pain And Swelling In Foot After An Injury

2 weeks ago I was on a ride in Florida, during the ride there was a steep drop (which I knew was coming, so I was holding on) but my foot slipped forward and banged the seat in front. Immediately there was a bump, bruising and it broke the skin, it was very painful but I was still able to walk. It is still bruised and the bump is still there. It is still very painful and I can t wear shoe across the front of my foot. Not sure if I need to do anything

Hello,
I have studied your case and I think that you need to get x ray of the foot as some time there can be fracture in the foot due to such fall. If there is any such injury than you might need splinting of the foot.
If there is no fracture than you just need to apply compression bandage and hot water fomentation. You should also take oral antibiotics so that this hematoma is not get infected.
Hot water fomentation is also useful.I hope these steps will be helpful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
