Swollen foot with small black/blue bruise marks after flight

My right foot is swollen with small black/blue bruise like marks at the base of my foot where my toes begin. I took my diazyide and antenolol and elevated my foot but swelling not going down. It doesnt hurt but the black/blue has me worried.

you might have a blood clot in your foot or calf. i'd go have a doctor check it out right away, because if it is a blood clot, they'll want to anticoagulate you so that the clot gets resorbed as quickly and completely as possible and doesn't cause permanent damage to your veins or have a piece break off that ends up in your lungs. make sure you tell the doctors that you noticed this after an airplane flight.

good luck!
