Hi- I slipped on a wet wood floor. I have a bad leg which caused instability. Looks like I blew a vein on my foot. swelled to about a quarter size. Hurts. But have elevated and iced. I assume it will take a few days to heal and I am not at risk. I have other medical issues.
Hi, as you provided the mechanism of injury and also for swelling you been putting legs elevated and icing also. I will advise to father add on simple ankle toe movements as it will help improve the hemodynamics of the vascular system and the swelling will come down. You can take an x-ray on a safer side or else you can wait for 72 hours to observe the swelling. Post that if the swelling still persists I will advise you can, I take a scan and Doppler the vascular system to rule out the possible causes. With the grace of God I wish you a speedy recovery regards
