A member asked:
Dropped glass on my foot & a piece of it made a small puncture. swollen vein & painful. ice & elevated but goes back when i stand up. what do i do?

Inflammation: will certainly occur with an injury. Ice early, elevation then warmth later. The problem is that this presupposes that the injury Stopped occurring. If there is continuing injury, it's going to stay inflamed. Infection OR a retained shard of glass will keep the area inflamed until it is treated. Without an actual examination, I cannot give specific medical advice on your particular health
