Hello and welcome to HCM,
Is there history of trauma to thigh along with trauma to ankle?
If yes, then trauma is the most probable cause of pain in the thigh region.
Bruises on the ankle will change color and clear away with time.
For the pain in the thigh region, you need to consult your primary healthcare provider for clinical assessment, investigations and thus management.
Thanks and take care
