Hello,
Swelling and bruising on both feet can most commonly occur due to trauma. However, in the absence of history of trauma, disorder of coagulation pathway is suspected.
I suggest you to get few investigations - platelet count, prothrombin time and activated thromboplastin time. I suggest you to consult hematologist for clinical assessment and prescription of investigations.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Shailja Puri
