Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I dropped a heavy item on my ankle a couple days ago. I was limping the first day and it did give me a small bruise. Today I was fine, no big pains, just soreness. But when I went exercising, I felt the pain again and noticed a small lump that hurts each time I poke at it. Not sure if it s a popped vein or what. But is this normal ? Or should I get it checked
