Question:

I have a dark bruise above my right calf I feel pain when I press on it, I had surgery on my foot twice to lift my arch the doctor put a titanium skrew to lift it, I had the surgery Nov 2007, and had to have it done over Feb 2008, I still have pain in that foot, so I want to know could that have something to do with it.

Your question would be best addressed by an Orthopedic surgeon.
