Not unusual: Main trauma prob occurred in this area. Just took little while for bruise to develop. Rest and take some antinflammatory medication. If symptoms continue X-ray may be helpful. Make sure no hairline fracture

Get it checked.: Give it another week. If it does not improve, seek medical advise and have an x-ray to rule out any stress fractures

Sprain or fracture: Sounds like you have an ankle sprain that's not healing well. Noticing a bruise 2 weeks after the injury says "something" is still bleeding under the skin. You may even have a small avulsion fracture associated with the pulled ligament that's just bad enough to cause pain but not stop you from walking. You should definitely get a x-ray and at least an ankle brace in the interim.

I accidentally hit my ankle 3 days ago with a heavy metal lawn chair. (Right under the ankle bone) There is no bruising and very little swelling. But to move it, touch it, put weight on it and walk on it, it is very painful. What could it be?
