Question: Hello about 6 weeks ago I fell from my horse catching my left ankle. There was no bleeding, but a blister formed of clear fluid, and slightly 'bloody'. Immediately treated with elevation, and ice - impressive bruising etc but my ankle was definitely intact, and I could walk without excruciating pain which had it been broken would have occurred. It is nigh on impossible to get an appointment to see a doctor (2 weeks plus) unless I say it's an emergency! So, what with a busy lifestyle I never did. Now, the wound is still there. I cannot ride because inside of left ankle above joint, and as open but clean as no pus or redness round edges, cannot swim etc so am finding it very frustrating. I had originally been letting wound dry out, form scab but anything indie, walking etc made it weep. I am concerned as back of leg there are loads of veins ( aren't ther?) and it does, tingle and is bruised (minor) spreading down to my toes. I try to rest but lifestyle gets in way, kids, driving etc and I also am overweight (16st ish and am 5 ft 5) so obviously ankle carries this weight. It is really annoying. I have used antiseptic (tea tree) and wound is clean. Currently has a wet healing plaster on it. There is a lot of scarring tissue which I am worried about. Someone suggested manuka honey, internally and externally. Have taken spoons, but not put on wound! Please help me...although I suspect you will say go to your doctor...but any suggestions would help as well, and I will try to get an appointment
Especially as still a problem.

Thank you
