A member asked:
I had a metal hitch drop on top of my ankle/foot. severe pain, swelling, bruising and numbness in toes. what could it be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Numbness can be caused fro swelling Crush injuries are always tough. If it doesn't improve or gets worse over the next 2-3 days, have it checked for any fractures. Use ice, rest and NSAIDS.
