A member asked:
2 wks ago i injured my shin, then swelling moved to my foot. swelling has gone down, but now i have pain in areas of foot where swelling remains.

Slow process: I assume bruising and discoloration occurred & moved along with the swelling. This is blood in the tissues outside of the vessels which causes swelling and pain. Until all the old blood released by the injury has been absorbed by the body processes, there will still be some swelling and pain. Warm/hot soaks followed by cold water/compresses activate the circulation and speed it up. 2+ times/day
