Highgrade sprains: This type of injury is traditionally dismissed in the ED/urgent care setting when a fracture is not present or missed on radiographs. The high grade ankle sprain is however fraught with long lasting séquelea typically unforeseen by the general Emergency physician or the sophomoric specialist. The complications include ankle capsule tear and hemarthrosis, syndesmotic ligament strain, osteochondral

Normal: It is very common for discoloration after a likely ankle sprain or contusion. I would recommend RICE (rest, ice, compression with brace and elevation). If pain is not improving, more rigid immobilization with a walking boot or brace may help with possible formal physical therapy.
