pressure washer injury

I was sprayed on my foot by a pressure washer a week ago and my skin is healing, but my foot is staying swollen if my sneakers are off for more than an hour or so. Is this a major concern or normal?

I agree with Remar, I would see a doctor, you may have had some minor internal injuries to the foot and that needs to be taken care of.

It's best to see your Dr about this. Those pressure washers do put out so much pressure and can cause serious injury. Let us know what you find out.  Remar
