A member asked:
Can you tell me how to walk on a bruised sole?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Assessment based.: The amount of bruising and the presence of active bleeding can put limitations on the amount of walking you can do. Extreme swelling from the bruise can not only hurt but also do further damage if walking is continued. Mild bruising is more conducive to guarded walking. You have to decide where your foot fits in in the picture. Comfortable shoes, crutches, crutch assist are all possibilities.
