What Causes Bruise And Blood Filled Blister On The Foot?
My wife woke up from a nap today. Felt very tired and laid back now for ten more minutes. She got off couch and took a step and a sudden pain on her foot brought her to the floor. She watched the top of her left foot swell up as if being inflated to golf ball size. It was red/ blood filled. Stayed this way for an hour or so. Swelling has gone done quite a bit but entire top of foot is bruised and she still is in discomfort. What is going on?
