I fell and hurt my foot a while ago(2 wks.), and it is still swollen and slightly painful. Is this serious?

Question:

Entire foot isn't swollen just the spot where I hurt it; the area is raised and hard and it has not gone down.

Answers:
yes i would say that there is something wrong. usually swelling goes down within a few days of an injury unless there is something wrong.
u should probably see a doctor and get an x-ray taken.
in the mean time elevate it and ice it for 10 mins on and 10 mins off.
pinapple juice helps with any bruising also. this is just one of the home remedies my gran use to use when any one got hurt or a bruise. it helps the blood thin out to move away from the hurt area.
good luck and i hope u get better

Other Answers:
possible bad sprain or fracture -seek medical attention

its likely just a sprain, it should improve before long, if it doesnt, then seek a doctors advice. Did you ice it like you were supposed to?
Have you been elevating it?
Did you have x-rays taken?

Make an appointment with your doctor to see how well it is progressing in it's healing!

Better to be safe than sorry!

it might be you should go to a doctor and see whats up with it.

If it has been two weeks then you'll probably be fine. However, it could still be fractured so you should see a doctor if you see fit.
