Hello!
Thank you for the query.
First of all it is necessary to determine if your symptoms are caused by soft tissues injury or by some bones fracture. To do that, an X-ray is necessary.
Foot swelling and bruise can indicate some hematoma in soft tissues which in some cases may need surgical incision. Veins thrombosis is also a possibility which should be ruled out.
That is why I suggest you to consult a surgeon.
Hope this will help.
Regards.
