Suggest Treatment For Swelling In The Ankle
I fell hard on a concrete step (edge of step) one month ago...hit lower shin (near front of ankle) and I still have sensitive pain in area when even slightly touched and you can feel a small bump (looks slightly swollen in area as well) could it have been broken and not know about it?
