What Could Be The Cause Of Tendon Bruise In Ankles?
Months ago I woke up with bruising on the outside of my ankle/heel, and a painful lump appeared just below my ankle bone. After wearing a brace for 3 months, the pain, swelling, and bruising is gone, but the ankle is weak. Now, the same thing is happening to my other ankle. The podiatrist has diagnosed it or them as a severe tendon bruise, but for that to happen to both ankles without me knowing when seems suspect.
Thanks.
Thanks.
