What Causes Bruising On The Inside Of Ankle?
One week ago I fell on stairs and hit my shin resulting in a goose egg and large bruise. Last night, I noticed the inside of my ankle on the same foot has what looks like bruising but it doesn t hurt. I also have really mild tingling in the same foot, but no numbness. Is this something to worry about or could it be related to the injury on my shin?

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have bruising on the inside of ankle . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like taking certain antidepressants , taking certain blood pressure medications , blood clot of the leg , venous insufficiency , organ failure , particularly in the heart, liver, or kidney . I would suggest you to lower your salt consumption , eat healthy and keep your legs elevated while lying down . Consult general practitioner for proper examination . Doctor may order certain test like complete blood profile ,take history and check vitals along with thumb press test .
