It it down to just checking for cuts/blisters etc or everything?

I've developed a slight ache in foot on Thursday and now it's turned into a bruise on my ankle and along the side of my foot, making it quite difficult to work on. Would it be best to go and get it checked? Would hate to go and waste time if it turns out to just be bruised

Thank you
 
I would get it checked better to be told nothing is wrong
 
Yes do get your foot looked at @L3wisr, we do have to be extremely careful with our feet so don't feel that your wasting your Dr's or Podiatrists time.
 
@L3wisr
Best get it checked, I had a minor issue with a lose toenail due to playing tennis, I lose nails regularly when I do any kind of impact activities and few years ago I was referred by my GP to a podiatrist they found an ulcer when they lifted the nail, I now see them every 4 months and any issues, I get an immediate appointment with them.

I often tell them, I'm ok doing my own, but they insist I need to be seen regularly.
 
Better safe than sorry @L3wisr as others have said you won't be wasting doctors time, get it checked out
