My 6 yr old female cat jumped from a tree branch about 5 ft high. She is always jumping up onto ledges or down from them, she jumps very high, always climbing trees, etc. Anyway, her front paw is now swollen and she will not walk on it, she limps all around. She does not seem to be in pain, she still goes up and down the steps and jumps on and off the furniture and beds, going to the food dish etc.
Your post indicates you have rash and swelling in one leg only. Is that right? Was the medication you took for local application? Why were you put on a new drug?
If it was something you took by mouth, it will cause a generalized reaction. Antihistamines help to control itching and such reactions. However you must be sure that your problem is due to the medicine you took.
If you are bruising easily it could be due to weak capillaries, low or abnormal platelets, low Vitamin K etc.
Believe it or not, my van ran over my leg 3.5 weeks ago. Long story short: I thought I had it in park, but it was in reverse. I got out and it started rolling away backward downhill & I tried to chase it down the driveway. I never made it inside & fell, getting my left left run over by the front tire. Ouch, to say the least! Miraculously there were no broken bones, but of course LOTS of contusions, swelling and pain.
I have still not been able to have my foot lowered for much time with experiencing pain and swelling - is this normal? The evening time is the worst, with my leg being swollen and uncomfortable. Sleep is very difficult but when I wake in the morning my foot feels fine and comfortable. I try very hard to limit my movement during the day and keep my foot up but still by about 7pm my discomfort is intense with a very tight cast, pain in the leg and numb toes.
this was missed twice by doctors due to no swelling or bruising. they constantly rotated her legs and stretched them out again to check her hips before fracture was dianosed. then they put a cast on on the bottom of her leg instead of the top. would all of these mistakes have made the fracture worse than it originally was.
Tibia is the shin bone that bears most of the weight and the Fibula is the splint bone located on the outside of the lower leg. In the case of a closed fracture there may be swelling and discolouration due to the large amounts of blood that emanate from a fractured bone.
The usual healing time for a mid-shaft Tibia and Fibula fracture treated with cast immobilisation is 12 to 16 weeks.
The other day me and my friend were rolling down a hill and she rolled over my leg. Today, I can't run, I can't walk to much, and it hurts to go up or downjust the stairs. The pain is all in my right knee. No where else. It hurts yo fully extend my leg and hurts to bend it. What could be wrong With it?
My kitten fell off a shelf and twisted his leg about four days ago and he is behaving normally with the exception of being a bit off balance and some limping. However, his shoulder that he twisted is swelling and it doesn't seem to be going down. Is there anything I can do to help the swelling?
cast and put me in a boot with crutches and compression socks to help with the swelling. For those above who were asking about swelling - I believe you can buy these socks at any pharmacy. They also recommended to ice the surgical area..as well to keep any swelling down. Of course the typical keep elevated as much as possible. The socks do work, are a pain to put on by yourself, but they do help keep the swelling down.

The causes for foot swelling are blood clot, leg infection, venous insufficiency, varicose veins; burns include sunburn, insect bite or sting, starvation or malnutrition, surgery to leg or foot, blockade of lymph nodes in the legs or lymphatic obstruction. certain medications like hormones viz, estrogens, and testosterone, blood pressure medicines called calcium channel blockers etc.
In July 2022 left leg started swelling bolt came out and floating around, had a revision in October 2022! Last Saturday woke up to go to the bathroom couldn't straighten leg couldn't walk very painful, the bolt came out AGAIN 6 months after it was done and the threads were stripped on the bolt and it broke into pieces. Had a revision last week got home yesterday 5/5/23. I think I have a good case! Something is amiss!
I've had my left ankle broken on sept 29, it was a fibula frature with a tibia dislocation, was on splint for a week, had surgery on oct 7th,plate + screws + a very long screw to place my tibia on the right place, splint for another week, then my orthopedist put me on aircast Air Stirrup Universe since then. He told me to start physical therapy a week after surgery, but I waited until 2 weeks. Now my foot hurts on an area that has nothing to do with the fracture.
suffered broken ankle in May 2010. Had surgery with plate and screws to fix. 2 weeks no weight bareing, 8 + weeks in camwalker boot - weight bearing as tolerated. Then moved to right ankle element brace and cane. Have completed 2 sessions of PT. Have chronic pain i ... [More] n foot/ankle with every step I take. Both my foot/leg are still swollen and discolored. Taking pain meds daily. Recently returned to work (4 hours per day sitting).
that comes and goes for at least three years, but the swelling seems to come on out of nowhere, encompassing the entire leg from foot to hip.The left leg is at least twice as big as the right leg. I often have heat in lower leg,strangely worse when I'm laying flat...and recently I developed deep fissures in each heel, which were T-shaped, and very deep, even though I do not have dry skin. After showering two days ago, the left leg swelled much higher up in the leg...
