A member asked:
I have a shin injury a&e confirmed not broken but swelling persists 7 days after and my toes are blue but not painful should i continue with elevation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Get blood returning.: Continued elevation certainly wouldn't hurt. Application of moist heat to the areas of bruising should help with the desorption and dissolution of the trapped blood.
