Foot bruising and swelling after 3.5 weeks

[Anklebruise]

3.5 weeks ago, I blacked out and came round with awful pain in my knee and ankle. My knee pain has since subsided but my foot / ankle is still painful and swollen. I can weight bear not but hurts to walk a lot and on stairs.

It still swells up a lot and new bruising seems to keep coming out. Pic 1 is the new bruising, 2&3 are in the first couple of days.

I had it x-rayed and they couldn’t see a break but is it possible it was missed due to the swelling? Would you get it rechecked or just let it heal?

Anyone?

It woukd be worth a second check.

After they took x-rays with you seated, did they do any weight bearing images of your foot?

There is a fracture called a lisfranc which can be really subtle. If there was a break and they re x-ray now they should be able to see any healing to the fracture site. It might be worth going back and asking for a second opinion.

No they didn’t.

I rung Bupa today. They have referred me to a consultant and recommended an MRI.
