I was put in a boot a week ago after tarsal tunnel release. new bruising on side and under arch now that i'm walking. is this normal?

Varies: Some degree is swelling/ bruising tracking into the foot is common after tarsal tunnel release, I would make sure your surgeon is aware and that you have a follow up appointment to be checked.
