Deep Cut in Foot, has been bothering for a while.?!
Question: I was running on a treadmile when i slipped and hit a wall and tried to get up when my foot was skinned/gashed by something which I never found. But I waited a few days and it has been getting worse. Whenever I wear shoes and I walk my foot swells up and causes great pain. I was thinking of considering crutches but I dont know if that would work. Please help!

Try to keep the site of the wound clean- put a bandage over it, try some antibacterial ointment, and wear clean socks (don't let sweat build up around the injury, change them a couple times a day if you have to). If the pain doesn't go away or you notice an infection (swelling, pus or more pain), see your GP.
Be careful, you may have an infection in the wound. I would go to the GP and check it out.
go to your doctor , you may need antibiotics, or it could be soft tissue damage , eitherway see your GP, AND GOOD LUCK
Go to the DOCTOR!!! A foot infection is nothing to fool around with. Unless, of course you WANT that foot amputated from gangrene or MRSA.
Crutches don't sound like a sensible idea. I would go see your GP, it might be infected.
