Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Swelling And Bruising In Foot After An Injury?
My foot was hit between a speed bicycles foot pedal and it was hurting for the first 2 days, with minor swelling and quite a large bruise. I hit it just below my toe and when i touch it, it feels tender. Can you please help me to know what has happened and how long will it take to heal?
It could be a contusion only. As of now you can use analgesics/anti-inflammatory combination like Aceclofenac/Seratiopeptdase for symptomatic relief.
You can also apply icepacks for faster recovery. If symptoms persists better to consult an orthopedician and plan for an X-ray to rule out small fracture.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain,
General & Family Physician
