[|AI|]  Hi, thank-you for providing the brief history of you. As you have pain and bruising with discoloration of the skin in the lateral side of the feet I suspect it to be stress injury. For which a clinical examination is advised followed by an x-ray As you are a dancer having a stress injury is common and have to be treated after a thorough clinical examination. Also, there may be a stress fracture or a ligament injury. May be a vascular insufficiency as well. After a thorough clinical examination and an x-ray the next course of action is advised. In my clinical practice such cases respond well to physical therapy. Regards Jay In Chat Doctor.
