A subtle nudge.: Hopefully the bruise is a consequence of some type of injury to your ankle. It may have been so subtle that you did not notice it when it happened. You merely noticed the tissue reaction to it. If you are on a medication that can affect your bleeding, you may want to talk to your doctor to reassess the dosage. Heat application to the bruise will help breakdown the trapped fluid faster.
