What Do Numbness And Swelling On The Feet Indicate?

yes, please! My foot was asleep when I got up, didn t realize this, and it completely folded over and under. It s been 10 days. I can bear weight on it just fine, I am working, almost 8,000 steps yesterday. End of day foot is swollen, it is bruised on outside and up outside of ankle extending up my leg just a bit. My main problem, the outside of the ankle is tender to the touch, and warm to touch. Otherwise pain is very minimal. Could it be broken?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

The total folding of foot while bearing body weight can cause anything from simple sprain , muscle or ligament injury to fracture of bone in foot. Imaging investigation like MRI/CT scan can clarify it to allow specific treatment. For home care.. you should take rest,ice pack, over the counter pain medicine after food. Consult an orthopedic surgeon for more specific advise after investigations.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
