More than bruise: Sounds like you have , at least , a sprain.If swelling persists for more than 2 months, see a doctor.

If you still have : Pain even though it is better and swelling persists even if not always present, it is possible you have ligament damage or stress fracture.The swelling is there at night after you walk and use the foot/ ankle. It disappears in the morning because you were off it the whole night. Follow up with a foot and ankle specialist.
