How To Treat Swollen And Bruised Ankle?
Yesterday I bent my ankle flat on pavement while playing soccer. It has light bruising and a little bit of swelling and hurts like crazy to put pressure on it. I know it s not broken, but I can t tell if it s sprained. Could you give me some tips??? Or even tell me if its sprained?
