broken heel
I fell off a ladder 6 days ago and am waiting for the swelling to go down still.... I didnt elevate it properly for the first 3 days so I see why it is still swollen....Now That I am elevating it, it seems to be getting a little better... however, if I get up to go to the bathroom, I can feel an instant rush to the area and severe pain sets in....when I elevate again it gets better.....I am concerned of maybe "Compartment Syndrome" is the problem...I know this can be serious!! Any suggestions!?? My doctor wont be back for 3 days....
