Bone smacked...: If it's not fractured, it is possible that you bruised or otherwise damaged the surface of the bone. This type of bone bruise or bump can hurt when the foot is elevated. Moist heat may help resolve the problem. To remove all doubt have the ankle x-rayed. Thank you for using Healthtap.
