Suggest Treatment For Swollen And Painful Ankle
I fell and hit my leg in the gym, I hit it half way up my calf and its badly bruised around where I hit it but then also bruised below it and even on my foot, my ankle is also swollen. I did it 3 days ago and I m quite concerned as it looks pretty bad. There s history of blood clots in my family, should I be worried?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, such nature of injury need to be taken for investigation to ruled out some internal injury like fracture and blood clot so it can be well managed later on, if you do have family history of some blood disorder then it is better to see the surgeon, hope this information helps.
