Some fracture...: One does not indicate cause of loss of balance: Accidental trip, Dizziness, changing position ...? The bruised/ swollen foot/ toe could have some fracture ( displaced or non-displaced). Best way to know what's gong in is to see the PCP for physical examination and imaging if indicated , & appropriate management. The earlier might be better.
