Need follow-up.: The doctor at the hospital isn’t necessarily wrong, but given your symptoms have progressed you need a follow-up visit with your primary doctor and/or an Orthopedic doctor (there are those that specialize in ankle). As your symptoms have progressed, testing may be indicated to see if this represents more than just a bruise.
