My 8 year old son 'did a pencil dive' into the shallow end of a swimming pool at the party on Saturday and hit the bottom of the pool with one foot. He seems absolutely fine in himself - eating and sleeping fine, no obvious bruising or swelling - but four days later he's still limping and hardly putting any weight through the foot.
He's not very good with pain and has been known to limp dramatically for several days after a twisted ankle, but I have a nagging guilt. I think he's most likely just bruised his heel. Could it be any kind of break or chip without any bruising or swelling and without him being in constant pain? Is it neglectful to leave it a few more days and see if it resolves?
Am I being neglectful or am I being over-dramatic?!
