What Causes Pain, Swelling And Bruising On Ankle And Foot After A Fall?
I fell yesterday, and my butt landed on my ankle bent inwards. I heard a loud pop, and then brief numbness. It swelled up right away, and is still swollen with some bruising. Limited range of motion, and pain around the ankle, on top of foot, and some discomfor up the back of my calf muscle. Could it be broken, or just a sprain???
