Question: Hello,
I'm a healthy 38 yr old female.
I bruised the top of my foot kicking a soccer ball (bare footed) yesterday. 24 hours later the top of my foot is tingling. There is no swelling.
Is this normal?

Yes,it is normal

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for posting
I have gone through your query and understand your concern. The feeling you are going through and without swelling,bruises is suggestive of soft tissue injury. To confirm that please tell me-Are you able to walk around without much pain?
You will get over it,with in a few days time. My suggestions for you are-
Continue with ice fomentation,rest,limb elevation along with ibuprofen.
Hope this suffices.
Take care
