Stepped Down My Ankle And Heard Cracks. Pain Reduced But Later Sore Again And Still Bruised Bad
I stepped down sideways on my ankle and heard a couple cracks as I went down. I was in extreme pain and couldn't even get up for 20+ minutes. Then I was able to get inside. I bruised really bad instantly. Black and blue on bottom side of foot and bruising across whole ankle and even up my foot to my toes. The pain went away after 2 days, and now 3 more days later and it's extremely sore again and still bruised bad.
