A member asked:
Injured my ankle. swelling and bruising are still persistent almost 2 weeks after. x-ray showed no fracture. is this normal? it also still hurts bad?

Your description of your ankle injury sounds a lot like a sprain. Glad there was no fracture, but sprain is no joke either and can take 6-8 weeks to heal, longer if you ignore it. Stay off that leg as much as possible; elevate leg on a pillow. Consider an ankle brace for extra support. Ibuprofen may help if tolerated. Visit your PCP or podiatrist if not healing.
