I was barefooted and a heavy metal pogo stick fell on my foot. It bruised almost immediately and there is a lump and redness in the area with the bruise. The bruise is in what I think is the 1st metatatatsal bone. It doesnt hurt when walking but it hurts if touched. Should I see a doctor
HI, Dear,Thanks for the inquisitive query to Chat Doctor.1-I studied your query in depth.2-In my opinion, post-traumatic lump on the 1st meta-tarsal, is due to the "Bony contusion with post-traumatic Cellulitis" and there appears to be no-fracture in 1st Meta-tarsal bone-as It's painless while walking but is only tender to touch-suggesting the bony contusion there.3-I would advise you to take -NSAIDs and wait for 2-3 days-if it subsides, then you need not worry 3-a-But if the swelling and pain persists, then you are advised to consult orthopedic surgeon-as it needs X-ray of the foot to confirm and treat any probable fracture in the foot.4-Wellcome for more queries to me On Chat Doctor.5-Thnks once again for your inquisitive query. Have a Good Day.!!
