Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi, I tripped over a chair two maybe three weeks ago and I did get a bruise, but it faded. The problem is that I awoke a few nights ago with a very painful, swollen area right where the bruise was. It is very red and at first I thought it was a spider bite but now I wonder if it is related to the ankle injury. Could it be from the injury?
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic. I can understand your concern. Yes, this kind of swelling can be due to injury. So better to consult orthopedic doctor and get done clinical examination and MRI of affected ankle joint to rule out internal injury. You may need immobilization and leg elevation. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
