Should I Be Worried Of Lump In Ankle After Getting Hit?

I hit my ankle with the corner of a suitcase two weeks ago. It was painful for the rest of the day, but no bruise or anything appeared. Today I noticed in the same area, a hard lump on my vein over the ankle. It is very slightly green/brown around the lump. It doesn t hurt unless I press on it or move my ankle a lot. Is this something to be concerned about?

Hi...

You ankle pain and bump is probably due to contution of the bone wherein the covering of the bone would have been inflammed due to hit and there could be some mild internal bleeding...
Nothing to worry...

I would suggest you to kindly do....

Lot of icing in the injured area..
Keep your swelling area comfortably compressed with compression bandage..
If you have any Anti inflammatory medication prescribed to you earlier you can have them...

Till the swelling reduced avoid forceful movements of ankle...running ...jogging ..

Hope this is helpful for you..
Kindly revert back in case you need any further clarification....
