Contusion of foot

2017-07-15 18:55:40
A small plastic weight fell on my foot causing contusion. When pain did not subside, X Ray was taken which did not show fracture. After 1 week, while examining the Dcotor pressed the point of injury after which there was intense pain and swelling. Even veins are swelling up now after 3 days. Do I have DVT? I am in Palampur, a remote region in HP
