Question
Hi , i was born with clubfeet an 40 yrs old , and recently noticed my right foot looks all bruised up for a month. It hurts alot at times, dont wear reg socks just the copper fit ones gives me more support . Any ideas with this bruise , tried icing it and nothing .

Answer
You need to have several things checked out starting with circulation, diabetes, and get some lab work to check your complete blood count and white count.If all this is normal then you can look at direct trauma from the ankle to see if there's any pressure from your footwear causing this bruising
