Do I need medical attention?!
Question: Do I need medical attention?
I dropped a steak knife on my foot 3 weeks ago and sliced an artery. I had stitches in the foot that were removed 2 weeks ago. The swelling had gone down; however, the pain and the swelling have increased tonight, but there is no streaking. Is this cause for concern? Could I have started bleeding inside my foot? I have elevated my foot and applied an ice pack. Do I need to go to the emergency room? What are signs of danger? Thank you,

keep an eye on it, if gets worse see your doctor ASAP. try to stay off of that foot, just because the doctor took the stitches out does not mean it is completely healed.
