Does Bruise With Knots In The Ankle & Shin Suggest A Fracture?
I was hit on shin, above ankle, with a softball over a week ago. Bruising seems to finally be improving, but still have severe pain when walking after moments of rest but does improve after initial steps. Has a knot in center of bruising. Is it possible to have a fracture?

no .very unlikely there is a fracture as your walking is painless . as said by you after few steps your symptoms are getting releaved . this suggests the injury is only a soft tissue type injury
