Ankle pain in right ankle started friday.. no bruising or swelling. pain was already subsiding by sunday. somebody said it could be a blood clot.

Small chance...: As you describe your symptoms, it sounds more like a strain or minor sprain in the ankle. The suspicion of a clot seems very low, but cannot be ruled out 100% without a closer evaluation. As the ankle pain subsides, it will be interesting to see if any residual bruising begins to show.
