Is Bruising And Increased Tenderness After Being Hit By Ball On Ankle Normal?
The inside of my ankle took a line drive by a softball two weeks ago. New bruising is has begun to occur and pain and tenderness is increasing. Is it possible that the condition is worsening, or is this part of the healing process for an injury such as this?

Hi,
Get your X-ray to rule out any minor fracture, in case there is no minor fracture then nothing to worry about it will heal with time just take over the counter painkillers.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
