A member asked:
1.5 weeks ago i got a non-displaced 5th metatarsal break. overall bruising has gone down but there's new bruising on my middle toes. is this normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Common: Yes as the blood travels through the tissue plains of the foot it will leave bruising distally in the toes. As long as there was no further trauma or injury then this is completely normal and will take awhile to go away. I hope this is useful.
