Bruising/swelling on ball of foot, should i be concerned?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Bruising and swelling is not normal. Should see podiatrist and get examination and x-rays so proper care can be obtained. Was there an injury? Sometimes stress fractures can produce these symptom without any distinct injury.
