Suggest Treatment For Ankle Pain
Firstly my ankle just hurt, a couple of days later it started bruising, and now (5 days later) it is swollen (but a little above the bruising). The pain is over my whole ankle and specifically where the bruising/swelling is, it is a dull pain that is greater when I am walking and occasionally shoots up to my knee or hip. I may have sprained my ankle or it may be poison from a blister I had, any idea which?

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms seem to be related to a sprained ankle.
I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain.
I also suggest using cold compresses for local application.
I recommend to maintain a splint to avoid moving the ankle.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
