No need: The spreading bruise is only due to the blood spreading due to gravity. I suspect you are fine. The bruise will take a few weeks to resolve. Happy healing!

I have somehow injured my left ankle. I'm not sure if it is sprained, or there's a hairline fracture, as it's so painful even to bear weight on it or walk. I am limping very badly. It is very swollen, bruised and tender to the touch. Please help me?
