So i got hit in the crease of my ancle with a ball in softball a month ago, and i thought it was just a bruise but it still is hurting me. what is it?

Bone contusion: You may have a deeper bruise than only skin deep. The area around the ankle has a thin soft tissue envelope so a contusion there can be deeper than skin. Get a consult for x-rays and try rest, ice, compression therapy and otc antiinflammatory meds. If those don't help, see a specialist.
