Is A Painful Lump From A Bruise Something To Worry About?

I dropped a log down my leg 2mths ago and got a huge bruise right at the top of my ankle that led to the side of my foot. The bruise is gone but there is a large size lump where the initial hit took place and is very tender to the touch! Any idea what it could be or if I should have it checked

Hi
Yes, get this checked since you may have a fracture there

Alternatively it could be a lingering hematoma
