Suggest Treatment For Bruising And Swelling After Injury

I was at a birthday party last week and got hit in the ankle with a pinata sick. It was very tender, swollen and bruised. Most of the swelling is gone now and the bruise is starting to fade but it very tender still in one spot. So much so that even just a little tap it painful and it continues to hut for a few minute after. Is it possible to have done something worse than bruising?

Hi,Thanks for your query. After going through your query I came to know that you got injury to your ankle in a party.It is bruised . Bruise (hematoma) gradually heal in natural course of it.But it is very tender at one point. I fear that you may be having fracture .So you should got your x-ray done to rule out fracture .For pain relief you can take analgesic such as diclofenac.You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. I do hope that you have found something helpful. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care.
