A member asked:
Please explain why is the bruise on my sprained ankle not going away?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Have it looked at: A sprain injury can result in redness, bruising, swelling, pain, and possibly instability of the involved area. An x-ray will be able to assist in differentiating a sprain form a fracture. Have it evaluated by a professional and get the appropriate treatment.
