Suggest Treatment For Pain And Blood Clot Under The Ankle Due To An Injury
hi, i sprained my foot on Wednesday while takin a step down at the beach but i stepped on a rock wrongly. i couldnt walk much, it still hurts, i have a purple blood stain underneath my ankle but the top of my foot hurts as i walk and now when i press down on top of the foot it seems to leave a dent, its like the skin is delaying coming to surface.

Hello,
Thanks for your query.
Since the bruise(blood clot) under your ankle is painful, a bone injury is likely. You need to get an X-ray of the area done. MRI is the best investigation to diagnose the internal knee joint structures injury. Till then avoid weight bearing on the ankle and keep the leg elevated on two pillows.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
