What Causes Swelling And Bruising In Foot After An Injury?
My foot was hit between a speed bicycles foot pedal and it was hurting for the first 2 days, with minor swelling and quite a large bruise. I hit it just below my toe and when i touch it, it feels tender. Can you please help me to know what has happened and how long will it take to heal?

Hi,
It could be a contusion only. As of now you can use analgesics/anti-inflammatory combination like Aceclofenac/Seratiopeptdase for symptomatic relief.
You can also apply icepacks for faster recovery. If symptoms persists better to consult an orthopedician and plan for an X-ray to rule out small fracture.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
