Hello Doctor,
I had an accident on January 15 while at the beach, where I accidentally hit my left foot against a boat. Since then, I’ve been experiencing persistent pain and swelling, and even after a month, I can still feel a lump in the area. The discomfort hasn’t fully gone away, and I’m concerned it might be something more serious. Would you recommend getting an X-ray to check for any fractures or underlying issues?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
Based on your symptoms—persistent pain, swelling, and a noticeable lump even after a month—it would be best to get an X-ray of your foot. This will help rule out any fractures or underlying issues, such as a bone bruise or soft tissue injury. If the pain continues or worsens, consider consulting a doctor for further evaluation and appropriate treatment.
Thanks
