Chief Complaint (CC): <\/span><\/b>A painful wound on the right foot.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

History of Present Illness:<\/span><\/b> An African American woman named Tina, 28, alleges that a week ago while walking, she stumbled over a concrete step and twisted her right ankle, scraping the ball of her foot in the process. She went to a neighboring emergency unit, where an X-ray was ordered and found to be negative. Tramadol was nonetheless provided to her to help with the discomfort. She says she cleans the wound twice daily, applies antibiotic cream, and wraps it in a bandage. Even though the pain and swelling at the location of the injury have fully subsided, she claims that the bottom of her foot is still quite uncomfortable. She describes the discomfort as being weight-bearing, throbbing, and intense. But, the discomfort in her ankle has already subsided. She continues to rate the pain as 7\/10 even after a recent dose of tramadol. She gives the pain when bearing weight, a 9 out of 10. She describes a swollen football that has become redder over the last two days. A day before the current appointment, the wound was already dripping with an odorless discharge. She claims that recently, her shoes have been uncomfortable, so she has started wearing slippers instead. Her fever was 1020F last night. She, though, denies having been unwell recently. She reports an increase in hunger and an unintentional 10-pound weight reduction over the past month. She asserts that her diet and energy levels have not changed.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
