Swollen Bruised Ankle After An Injury. Severe Pain. Need To Get Checked Out?
I ran over the back of my foot at work today with what we call a hand cart. I work for a grocery store and its what we use to put products of from cooler to sales floor. My back of my ankle automatically swolle up and bruised now every time I go to take a step on it it feels very painful and like something is pulling. Just wondering if I should have it checked out
Hello, Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum. As injury was blunt and , now there is swelling , it may be due to , Ligament tears, infection ( bursitis), fracture in some bone ( chip ), Dislocation of joint ( partial). In my opinion consult an orthopaedician and get his opinion. Till take ibuprofen 600 mg twice in day along ranitidine . Good luck. Dr. HET
