Bruise And Knot On Leg Near Ankle. History Of Being Hit By Ball. Serious?
Two weeks ago my friend and I were playing catch. She threw the ball at my legs and I couldn't get it. The ball hit the top of my leg by my ankle really hard and I fell to the ground. I had an instant bruise and knot in the same spot that the ball hit me. Since two weeks have went by the knot is still there. Is this a serious problem? What can I do to fix it?

hallo dear friend
i hv studied your case
is there swelling over foot and ankle which is increasing ,tenderness at particular point
you should take Xray ankle and rule out any fracture if pain and swelling is persistant
give ice pack fomentation
take some analgesic and anti inflammatory [enzoflam sv]
if there is no fracture pain will subside in2 week
take calcium suppliment
use crepe bandage and apply thrombophobe ointment
