I broke my 5th metatarsal last Tuesday (9 days ago). I've had very little pain and didn't have to have a cast, but I wear an ace bandage with a small boot for support. I just took off the bandage as I do sometimes to let my foot breathe a little, and I have an absolutely gigantic bruise covering the top of my foot. It's mostly yellow, but there are some bluish/black spots up by my toes.
Also, my pinkie toe (the one that is above the bone I broke), is a little pinker and more swollen than the others.
I haven't noticed anything like this until now. Is this normal for a broken bone?
