A member asked:

There is pain in my ankle but no swelling or bruising. what could it be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ankle pain: Different types of arthritis, sprains/strains, bone tumors could all cause ankle pain minus the swelling or bruising. I would recommend evaluation by a podiatrist or foot/ankle orthopedic surgeon.
