Metatarsal is the long bone in the foot (you have five of them, they articulate with the five toes). The location of the "deep tissue bruise" is in your foot, above or below one or more of the metatarsals.

There is a picture of the bones here:

It means you bruised the muscles in your foot that lead down to your toes.
