How long does swelling last? 4.5 days ago foot got crushed. still swollen, purple. use ace bandage? not painful. not walking much. xray negative.

2 to 4 weeks: If x-ray is negative is a minor injury. Most minor-to-moderate injuries will heal within 2 to 4 weeks. Apply moist heat, reduce the function and NSAIDs OTC will help to speed the healing. Get well soon!
