Today 24/06/15 I was playing rounders and the ball came down from a high distance going straight into my foot even though I was wearing trainers. I now have a massive lump on my foot and it is very swollen. My foot is going purple and red. I have been applying ice on and off since it happened but it has made it worse so I stopped putting it on and it s worse than it was before. What shall I do
Hi. Noted your history of severe swelling and redness of the foot due to fall of a ball from a very big height. The massive lump is suggestive that you definitely have fractures of the bone/s. I would advise you the following standard treatment format:-Rest. Elevate the foot in laying down position above the heat level. Applying tight crêpe bandage would have helped you more. Rush to the ER to get X-rays. Anti-inflammatory medicines. And POP cast later after the swelling has subsided.
