Impact Injury To Top Of Foot But No Swelling Or Even Bruising

about 6-8 weeks ago i kicked someones foot by accident whilst playing football, i swung very hard and as a result it was painful for a day or two, feeling like i had severely bruised it. I immediately put ice on it and there was no swelling and a bruise didnt even appear, however, ever since then every time i kick the ball with that specific part of my foot it is painful and feels like a fresh bruise.

As no one, without performing an examination or knowing the results of one, could possibly have any idea as what might have been injured and to what extent, I don't know what can possible be said that would be helpful other than that you should have such an examination and that you should avoid activities which you already know or could be reasonably assumed would cause renewed pain until that examination is made and specific recommendations and limitations could be offered

That sort of question begs for the sort of definitive declarative statement which no one without at least and examination can responsibly offer. It may be that you have a bone contusion, and if so, it may be very tender for a long time to come. You might also have sustained a hairline fracture which has been missed. You don't say where on the foot you were hit, but small fractures, especially of the tarsal and mid-tarsal bones can be easily missed on a standard flat x-ray. Soft tissue damage would probably have shown prompt swelling, but that would depend upon the efficacy of your body's defensive and reparative symptoms. At the very least, one would think it best to get off of the foot, rest it, and have another checkup in a few days if it does not improve, and even sooner if it gets worse.

Did you have it x-rayed? The reason I ask this is because about a month ago I hurt my foot somehow and don't even know when or how. Then a couple days ago I had a knot at the bottom side of my right foot and I kept rubbing it to get it to work out but it just got sore. Then the next morning that whole area I rubbed was black and blue so I went to the Doctor. They x-rayed my foot and found that I broke the whole top of my foot. Wierdly enough, I never had pain or swelling; it didn't make any sense. I work 13-15 hours a day on my feet but I only remembered my foot feeling a little numb for a while. My doctor told me it already started healing and that it could have happened up to 2 months ago. He thought I was a drinker and that I didn't remember doing it because I found all this out the second day I was vacationing in Hawaii at an emergency center. I don't drink and I told him that. He told me it was unusal that I wouldn't have pain and swelling but not unheard of and the area I was rubbing was some sort of calcium deposits and scar tissue forming underneath the area that I aggrievated by rubbing it. Get your foot checked, you could cause a lot more problems if you don't know!

richiead89, what happened in the end? how long did it take to heal? i have the same problem now with the same thing happening to me at football. I had an x ray they said that i have a bruise and its taking longer to heal as i have a loss of cartilage but its so fustrating! and im not convinced.

I had the same soccer accident. Have pain mainly when kicking the ball. Have that problem since 6 month now. It started right after the accident. My doctor said it could be arthritis.
That sucks.

I have the same problem. ive had it science september 09 but i went to a physico and he said that a tendon had moved out off place and long story short he sorte the tendon nd moved it back in and it was still sore today i went for an xray and they said thier was no facture or break. So i asked about and mri and she said u only get one if ur david beckham or im alot of pain my best bet is that an mri will show up the damaged muscless or tendons and show the problem but atm she perscribed me Diclofenac a pain killer thats the NHS for you do it as cheaply as possible. hope this helps.
