A member asked:
I've already been to a doctor they said it was just a sprain but now it's bruising and is still swollen. should i get it re-evaluated? also the sprain or twisting of my ankle happened yesterday, august 24, 2022. 24 hrs before bruising appeared?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bruising & swelling often occur after damage to underlying structures -- in this case a sprain. So it is to be expected. Neither resolves in 24hrs. It'll take a couple weeks. Please pursue ice, compression, elevation, and anti-inflammatories (if no allergies) for now.
