A member asked:
Might i have a broken/fractured foot without swelling or bruising?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: This is possible, for example a stress fracture of the foot can occur in runners or military personnel, without any overt swelling or bruising. If you have had persistent localized bony pain, you should see a physician for further evaluation.
