Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I got hit really hard in my ankle and on the aide of my leg a couple inches above my ankle. I had a really nasty bruise that extended from my calf to my ankle. My ankle was swollen and there was like a lump on my leg, very painful but I didn t go to a doctor and it was better in about a week and a half 2 weeks. Now it is just very sore to the touch and when I touch the spot above my ankle it feels like there are lumps in my leg and they are very hard and very sore. I work as a nurse so I walk a lot and some days after work my ankle just kills me but it hurts through my entire ankle including the inside of it where I didn t get hit at.
Hello, I have studied your case. Most probably it is haematoma. This is collection of blood in the leg. It might get infected some time. So I would suggest you following. 1.Discuss with your doctor and start taking antibiotics accordingly. 2.Hot water fomentation. 3.Avoid any scratching. This knot will going to dissolve soon. If there is increase in size than you need to contact your doctor. I hope this answer will be helpful for you. Let me know if there is any other questions. thanks
