What Causes Bruising And Swelling Of Leg After A Popping Sound From Leg?

while running up a short steep hill, I heard a popping sound on my right calf. This happened 3 days ago. Now, the right side of my foot is all bruised. The bruise runs from the ankle to the bottom of my large toe. The calf is swollen and hurts. What do you think is the problem?

Hi,

We have to rule out possible causes like tendon or ligament injury. Consult an orthopedic and plan for an MRI scan.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
