A stone bruise, also known as a metatarsal bruise, is a common foot injury that can cause pain and discomfort. It occurs when the fat pad on the bottom of the foot becomes bruised or inflamed due to trauma or overuse. Here's how you can treat a stone bruise on your foot:

  1. Rest: Rest the affected foot as much as possible to allow it time to heal. Avoid activities that put pressure on the bruised area, such as running or jumping.
  2. Ice: Apply ice to the bruised area for 15-20 minutes at a time, several times a day. This can help reduce swelling and pain.
  3. Elevation: Elevate your foot to reduce swelling. Keep it raised above the level of your heart when sitting or lying down.
  4. Pain Relief: Over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen can help manage pain and reduce inflammation.
  5. Protection: Wear shoes that provide adequate cushioning and support to protect the bruised area.
  6. Avoid High-Impact Activities: Avoid activities that put pressure on the bruised area until it has healed.
  7. See a Doctor: If the pain and swelling persist or if you have difficulty walking, see a doctor. They may recommend physical therapy or other treatments to help speed up the healing process.
