Having Noticed Swelling & Bruise On The Ankle After Having An Injury
Hi, I got kicked in the ankle multiple times in the same week playing soccer and it swelled and bruised and now the pain is all around my ankle and up the back of my ankle . There is a lump right above my ankle that is extremely sore to touch and the pain just seems to get worse. It s been going on for over a week now.

Hello,
I think you should have put ice packs after playing soccer.
Now, should apply analgesic cream locally. And should apply alternating cold and warm compresses.
Take oral pain killers. I also recommended putting chopped onion with coarse salt locally to reduce swelling and pain.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
