Suggest Treatment For Bruised Medial Malleolus
I hit my medial malleolus yesterday on a porcelain soap dish really hard. It bruised immediately and has been sore ever since. Today there is a light bruise distal to where I hit it and it is painful to touch. I wondered if I just bruised it or if I may have fractured it

Hi,
With the mechanism of injury there are less chances of a fracture. You need to apply ice, avoid taking weight and take rest for early healing If even after a week the bruise dose not show any signs of healing or if the pain does not reduce then you need to get a X-ray some to any possible fracture.
Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
