A member asked:

Sprained my ankle a week ago. both the foot and ankle are swollen, pained, and bruised. i can't move my toes and there are spasms in my thigh. normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not norm but typical: Bruising implies ligament tearing and/or a fracture. Gravity often allows for bruising and swelling to track down to the foot. The swelling and pain may inhibit joint and tendon movement, thus inhibiting the toe movement. Thigh spams can result from overcompensation of these muscles. Rest, ice, compression and elevation. See a physician for a possible x-ray, more definitive diagnosis and treatment
