I think i broken a blood vessel
3 days ago, a big chair fell on my left foot. Causing in to hurt bad. A day later, I noticed a 2 inch bruise on my left foot. It had red spots and black spots in the bruise. It hurts bad and it is very hard to walk on it. Google said I broke a blood vessel but i dont know if that is true. Please see the attachment.

Discoloration looks like is ecchymosis. Which is blood from possible damage to surrounding structures which could be muscle tendons or ligament. There could be possibility of bony injuries. I would strongly recommend to go to nearest ER or urgent care for evaluation and to rule out any injuries to muscle, tendons, ligaments and bones. Keep it elevated until you go to ER
You may have also broken a bone. It might be good to get an x-ray.
You have a bruise which means some bleeding.Its possible there is a bone fracture.If its hard to walk after a week or 2 you might consider an X-ray.In the meantime try elevation,ice,and an elastic wrap.
