What Causes Bruised Calf And Purple Ankle After An Injury?

I fell and hit my knee on a tile floor. At first I couldn t put any weight on it. Now a week later my ankle is purple and I have a big bruise on my calf in the front and back. I still use a cane to help move due to knee pain. X-ray didn t show a break. Does that sound ok?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
I warmly Welcome you!

Thanks for consulting me at virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and I can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I assure you not to worry as I will take care all of your medical concerns.
 
Its all ok. Its normal disease process. It happens with soft tissue injury. Internal bleed accumulates in dependant parts and the symptoms you are facing are the result of that.
Apply heat. If painful apply Voltaren gel.
Take 2 tablets of Tylenol twice per oral for 5 days.

If you need further, detailed and quick assistance related to any health issues, feel free to 'ask me a question' directly from my profile. You can also attach Lab reports and pictures with direct question.
