I bruised my leg 3-4 in. above my ankle. The leg is warm and down by my ankle It is black and blue with more bruising showing around the leg. It happened 4 days ago. I missed a step-up of a porch made of cement, and fell forward. It was very painful. Does not hurt so much now and I can walk without pain.
