Suggest Treatment For Swollen And Painful Foot
Okay, so I am an athlete and I got angry at a baseball so when a line drive was coming at me, I kicked it.
It hurt, obviously, but the bruise went away after a week or so and i could walk on it afterwards.
However, it has bothered me since then and when I bend it in certain ways, it hurts really bad... It's like a sharp pain. (When i broke my foot when I was younger, it feels like it did when I just got my cast off and I was trying to get my foot back to normal... if that helps.)
Sometimes, I'll notice that I'm not walking on that side of my foot (it hit me on the middle, a little to the left, on my right foot), and I'll try to fix it, but it hurts. I know there are a LOT of bones just in the foot and I don't know if fractures hide, or something. I'm just wondering if I should seek medical attention, if I'm damaging my foot not getting it treated, or am I making a mountain out of a mole hill?
