What Causes Pain In The Leg And Bruising On The Top Of The Foot?

Hi,
Please note that it may be the result of vein blood clotting. You must be careful as there is previous bad history. You must undergo color Doppler study. Please do not massage the affected area. Visit emergency or vascular surgeon as soon as possible.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
