How To Get Rid Of Painful Bruised Bump On Foot?
I was playing soccer and tripped over the ball but I fell on the outside of my foot... I heard a crack and I couldnt run anymore or kick... my foot hurts on the top and I have a bruised bump... the bottom of the foot hurts on same side I have the bump... so the top and bottom hurts... what is wrong with it? Its not my ankle at all but the outside of my foot. Please help!

you probably have a injury to the joints in your foot
crack can mean 2 things
1)ligaments partially torn or overstretched
2)a fracture of your tarsal bone (mostly non surgical)
you might have this so called lisfranc injury - ligamentous injury of your midfoot
best course of action is xrays to rule this out since this injury usually presents with bruising of the foot (both sole and above the foot)
lisfranc injury needs to be casted the least but can be operated on if its really that bad
