What Causes Pain And Bruise On The Same Blunt Trauma Spot?
I had a blunt force trauma to my foot several months ago. I keep having pain and repeated bruising in the same spot when I move my 2nd toe at just the wrong angle. I m thinking I did more damage then I originally thought. Could it possibly be broken and I keep re-injuring it?

Hello,
I had gone through your query and understand your concern.
As you had a blunt injury several months ago, an underlying fracture might have healed by this time. If you still have pain then healing is not proper. Injury to blood vessels causes repeated bruises.
I suggest you to consult a orthopaedic doctor who will advise you to get an X-ray done to see what exactly is the problem.
I hope this helps.
If you have any other queries, feel free to ask.
Regards,
Dr.Prathap Kumar
