Why is my foot swollen and bruised?

Just noticed puffy swelling about 3 times the normal size and bluish green bruising on top of my right foot. i've had no injury to foot also very painful to the touch and when I flex my foot it feels numb

Well sweetie, that could mean several things.........if you have not stumped your foot and you are having the swelling...I would go to the doctor immediately and get tested for Gout, Arthritis (possible Rheumatoid), perhaps a spider bite and maybe even gangrene. Most importantly, please go to the doctor as soon as possible.

Sounds like a serious case of gangrene.

You might have a blood clot or someting could have bitten you. I'd see a doctor.
