On Wednesday night I was getting DD to sleep and sitting on our bed with my leg tucked underneath me. When I got up to leave the room it hurt to walk, at the front of my foot then it started to bruise and swell. The next morning it was okay at first but the more I walked on it the more the bruise and swelling came out. By midday it looked like (first pic). I got it checked out at minor injuries. They did an x-ray and the doctor said he thinks there's a fracture but the c-ray wasn't typical as there's a shadow where he thinks the break is. But he got his colleague who he said was more experienced to have a look and he said he thought it was all fine and didn't think there was a break. The first doctor didn't seem sure and before I left he took me off to see the x ray so he could point out what he meant. Anyway, he said a radiographer would take a look at it and if they thought differently they would contact me. So that was Thursday. Yesterday the bruising had gone down and it was still swollen but looked like it was getting better. It hurt when I walked on it and really started to ache towards the evening. Today, it's come out in a bruise again but in different places to what it was previously including on my toe. Obviously it's nowhere near as bad as it was (bruise-wise) but it seems weird that it almost went and now it's coming back again. My middle toe also seems to be in a slightly odd position, especially in comparison to the other foot.
Has anyone had anything similar? Is it likely to be a ligament or something?
