Is Increase Of Mass And Purple Bruise A Side Effect From The Injury?
hi, I was sliding yestoday and broke my right foot s ankle, I went to the ER and they relocated the bone and told me to follow up with a orthopedic doctor. But this morning I found out that on the same left upper part has a enormous purple bruise and increase of mass, but it doesn t hurt if I don t move or not touch it. Can this be a side effect from the injury or it could be another severe injury?

welcome to hcm,
in all injuries you get a swelling around the bruises. swelling around the bruises are due to the inflamatory process .pain, swelling, fever or sense of tempeature increase at the site of bruise are all because of that. nothing to worry about now. consult the orthopedic doctor with the xrays. if there is no fracture hopefully you can recover fastely. orthopedist will guide you . hopefully this explains
