Two months with sprained ankle. it's very bad and getting worse. veins are more prominent and my leg is swelling with a obvious lump two? inches up

SEE A DOCTOR/ER. DVT: If it's getting worse, you must see a podiatrist or foot and ankle orthopedic surgeon ASAP. Another concern; although it's been two months, do you have a DVT in your leg? The best course may be the emergency room, to rule out this DVT/blood clot. A DVT is a serious issue! Regards, Dr. Latva
