What Are The Symptoms Of Fracture ?

Yes I hit the bone on the inside of my ankle pushing off on an electric scooter going about 15mph. My foot was planted and struck a bolt on the scooter as it passed. Sounded like a rock hitting it and hurt a lot. Also broke skin and bleed a bit. No swelling yet and everything still works but should I be concerned?

Hello there I have read through your question and would like to tell you that pain swelling are features of a fracture. Also if you have pain on weight bearing you may be having a fracture. Sometimes when there is a hairline fracture there may be no swelling. I would advise you to get an XRay of the ankle joint just to be sure. Meanwhile you can take an antiinflammatory like aceclofenac to reduce pain. Avoid weight bearing on the affected ankle. I hope that answers your question. If you have any further questions please feel free to write. Thank you for choosing healthcare magic.
