What Causes Bruising Of Foot After Injury?

Hi I dropped a flat packed wardrobe on my foot about a week ago. I keep getting rare but sharp pain in my big toe and there is still a fair amount of pain on top of my foot as well as considerably bruising that is gradually fading. Is this just bruised damage or should i go get an xray

Hello, u had a heavy weight which fell on ur foot thats y u will have pain for few days. Pain is not so severe to prevent u from walking so fracture is not likely bcoz in case of fracture there will be severe pain. Pain in big toe may be due to slight bleeding under the big toe. It decreases wen all the blood is reabsorbed. And the bruising over the foot is due to bleeding from small vessels below the skin. U need not worry bcoz it will reduce in few days. If u feel more pain den u may have an x ray to confirm. Get well soon.
