Sprained ankle: It looks you have soft tissue swelling with a bruise. The bruise is bleeding due to straining the muscles, causing microteasr of muscle fibers. It does not mean you have torn mucle or ligamentes. Is a good sign you don't have pain, and it seems you can bear weight. However, is good idea to see doctor is swelling does not improve in the next 24-48 hrs. Use ace band and elevelate leg.

Bleeding from sprain: A sprain involves tearing, to some extent, the ligaments and possibly tendons around the ankle. Bleeding always occurs internally, but may be visible or not. The bruise with ball could represent a separate hematoma occuring with your injury, or seroma. If it doesn't go away, or your ankle cannot bear weight, see a doctor.

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.
