How Can Swelling And Bruising On The Ankle Be Treated?
I was pushed over during a netball game on Wednesday and my ankle cracked and became swollen almost straight away. I went to the hospital that night they by passed triage and sent me straight for an x Ray, I was not examined because they said it wasn’t broke but three days later I can’t walk or move my foot, it keeps becoming blue and cold and is still severely swollen.

Hello,
Kindly get your x-ray of foot done because if there is any fracture then your foot will start getting swollen and if there is any hamper of circulation to the limb it can become blue.
Any internal hemorrhage might have coagulated and now has become blue. So, kindly get the foot examined once again for all this. You can also take any painkillers for now like Paracetamol, Ibuprofen, Tramadol, and etcetera.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Archana
