A member asked:

I dislocated my knee cap on sunday and have been on crutches until today. just started walking, but foot is extremely swollen. foot doesn't hurt. ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Get ultrasound eval: Swelling in one foot after trauma could be a result of inflammation, which will pass with elevation, but could,also represent a blood clot below the knee, which could be dangerous. A painless ultrasound evaluation will determine if this is the diagnosis. Treatment can then be started to correct the problem.
