Kicked On Ankle, Bruising, Numbness, Painful Mass On Pressing. Treatment?
I was kicked on the upper part of the inside of my ankle. There was bruising around it but, not where the direct impact was. The bruising is gone now but, it feels numb to the touch where I was hit directly. If I push it I can feel a mass and its very painful. I d like to know what it is and how to treat it. It happened 3 weeks ago.

Hi,
It seems like you had an ankle sprain from the injury. It is been 3 weeks now. I hope you applied ice packs to the affected area initially.
You could use an ankle brace or crepe bandage for a while until the symptoms subside. It is better to get an x-ray of the affected ankle done as well, to rule out any hairline crack.
Simple analgesics like Tylenol should help you with the pain.
Get well soon.
