Brief Answer:
Nothing much to worry about
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for posting
I have gone through your query carefully and understand your concern. As you are able to walk around and the injury is 2 week old, it is a simple bruise (injury).Nothing much to worry about.
To help you further if it possible you may send the picture.
Meanwhile, I have following suggestion for you-
1. Gentle ankle exercises, ankle brace will help.
2. Thrombophob ointment, Ibuprofen along with prescription only drugs trypsin/chymotrypsin to reduce pain and swelling.
Hope this suffices.
Take care
