I dropped a cinder block on the top of my bare foot?
Answer:
Most likely from what you're saying you have a rather large bruise on your foot (of course if I could see it, I'd be able to tell more).
You are in fact administering the correct first-aid for an injury of such at the time. Keep it elevated for at least 30 minutes and keep the cold compress applied for 15 minutes, remove it then re-apply the cold compress (you can do this up to one hour or two - however, do not exceed 2 hours). I would also suggest that you take some sort of pain reliever such as Tylenol, Motrin or some sort of Ibuprofen!
If the pain persists after about 12 hours, I would suggest you schedule an appointment with your FNP or MD (doctor). You may have some how broken a tenant in your foot (or even a toe) or damaged blood vessels some way due to the heavy impact from the cinder block.
Wait, and see what happens then see a doctor if throbbing persist!
OWWW!! I feel bad for you, that sounds so painful! Do you think you could've broken the small foot bones at the top of your foot? There's like a million bones in the foot. Yes, i would go to the doctor tomorrow if it's still hurting later.
dude, i would go to the er if i was you.
