Can you get bruises on your feet from sitting on them for too long?

Answer by  wendyj (359)

You can get bruises on your body anywhere where there is extra pressure for an extended period of time. This includes your feet.

If you move your foot the wrong way,or if you sit directly on your feet,this can cause some casual bruising.

I suppose if the blood vessels are broken from that, then yes you can. Bruises are the result of the blood vessesls being ruptured, some it takes quite a bit to cause a bruise while others it takes nothing but to breathe in that direction. It is always advisable to speak with your doctor about these concerns.

Bruising usually occurs when there is the presence of any external (or internal) force that causes a break in the small blood vessels surrounding tissues, nerves, or skin. Sitting on your feet will not cause any bruising but numbness instead since blood vessels are compressed thus blood supply is blocked.
