Dent in foot causing pain

2018-01-18 22:40:58
I have a dent in my foot with a small bulge next to it yet my other foot seems fine. It’s really painful at times and the pain feels like a very bad bruise. I dance and run for around 7 hours per week combined and believe this dent formed after 1 hour of running. Do you know what it is, how to treat it and how long it will take to heal?

Contrast bath---It is a form of treatment where a limb or the entire body is immersed in warm water followed by the immediate immersion of the limb or body in ice water. This procedure is repeated several times, alternating hot and cold. Note that the treatment should always end in the ice water, as heat will induce the body's inflammatory response, while cold helps to decrease inflammation.
