I fell down the steps 2 weeks ago and hurt a large portion of my left side of my body. I broke a metatarsel and have been in the care of a doctor but now after 2 weeks I have bruising starting to show in other areas of my foot. It just started today. Is this normal to expect?
Hello, The bruising you are experiencing post injury is quiet normal. This occurs as a result of injury to the soft tissues. You already have a fractured metatarsal so along with that there will be some soft tissue injury which will result in bruising.  This will take about 2 to 4 weeks to completely disappear. So you have nothing to worry. Just take it easy for a while and avoid strenuous activities and follow your doctors advise. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care
