A member asked:

Fell down stairs 2 days ago on shin. bruising, lump & tingling in my foot. ice & elevating.when should i see a dr? i'm concered about tingling. thanks

Fell down stairs: Tingling is usually a sign of nerve irritation , happens often with injuries, especially when the foot swells up and there is pressure on the adjacent nerves or damage from the injury. Absolutely , see a podiatrist or an orthopedist asap , get examined for any potential fracture, tear of the tendon/ligament , the sooner you decrease swelling and immobilize your foot, the faster you will heal.
