Crush injury: A crush injury can potentially be serious and difficult to treat. Often there is little that be done other than let the injury heal. Nerve injuries can lead to permanent residual pain. Without having access to x-rays and a good foot examination, judging the severity is impossible. Have this injury evaluated by a podiatrist.
