Patient: Squashed my right leg big toe, while playing soccer a few times, redish black strait ions become a little yellow, twisted my ankle 2 weeks back and tied a creap bandage for couple of days, toe was numb on and off when I where shoes, now wAs swollen after a short 2 hrs flight, and numb Doctor: Hi,Thanks for contacting. Do hot and cold therapy ( take a bucket of hot water and one with cold water, dip your leg first in hot water for 3 mins then in cold water for one min. Do it 7-10 times, and keep your feet elevated. Don't keep your legs hanging, as it might increase swelling, and do use crepe bandage . Hope it will help you. Let me know if I can assist you further.Regards,Dr. Harsh Swarup
