No. It can rip the stitches. Lay down and put a pillow under your knee and another under your foot and watch TV.
If you have had swelling in the foot, sometimes after it subsides the skin will peel like with a mild sunburn. If it is the bottom of the foot and between the toes, it sounds like a fungus.

Swelling should always be treated with COLD compress, not hot. But if the swelling persists or returns, see a doctor to find out what is causing it.
It is possible to get approximately 60 to 61 stitches per foot of thread. For one spool of thread or 100 yards, it is possible to get 18,182 stitches.
Foot swelling can be caused by a variety of illnesses and conditions. Diabetes, phlebitis, and a twisted ankle are some of the reasons. A doctor will need to evaluate and treat the foot swelling.
Swelling of the foot can indicate a condition known as gout. It is caused by too much uric acid in the body, and results in swelling of the hands, fingers, and toes.
Yes it is possible, I broke my foot in two spots and there was barely any swelling.
swelling is fluid retention that has accumilated in a small area, raising the foot allows the fluid to flow back up the body. ice pack.....to cool the blood maybe?
It really depends on why the stitches were in there. If the stitches were there due to surgical implication i.e. fracture bone, ligament or tendon rupture, then you need to go through an appropriate amount of physical therapy to gain motion and strength back to the foot and ankle. If the stitches were there because you cut your foot on something, once the stitches come out, as long as the skin is closed you can play football. If you are worried, you can use krazy glue on the area that had the stitches or place a bandage on the area. I have had athletes play with stitches on as long as the area was well padded and bandaged up.
See your doctor and reduce your sodium intake.
it might possibly wear the stitches prematurely...?
