What Causes Swollen Vein And Pain In Right Ankle After A Injury?
I was playing kickball and hit the ball really hard on the inside of my right ankle. The vein there is now big and the area around hurts like a bruise but no bruise is visible yet. Any suggestions on what happened? Did I just bruise my ankle badly because it was on the vein?

Hello,
It may be due to injury.
For pain you can take tablet acetaminophen.
Still for further assessment you may require x ray, doppler ultrasound after orthopedic surgeon consultation.
Further treatment mainly depends upon the underlying condition.
Till then use support while walking.
Restrict your movements.
Hope I have answered your query...
Let me know if I can assist you further.
