Suggest Remedy For Soreness In Ankle And Foot
A week after getting hit in the shin with a fast pitch softball the bruise has faded but the spot of impact is a hard red lump and the skin around the lump is red. New bruises have appeared on the inside and outside of the same foot below the ankle making a line almost to the balls of my foot. The ankle and foot are swollen. The red lump is warm to the touch. Basically it hurts more now than when it happened.

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have soreness in ankle and foot. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like arthritis , gout , sciatica or blocked blood vessels . But in your case the symptoms are due to injury , which further occur due to certain reason like hematoma , soft tissue injury or fracture . I would suggest you to consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination . Doctor will examine physically , order x-ray or CT scan to confirm the diagnosis . Doctor may prescribe muscle relaxant along with anti inflammatory and vitamin supplement for quick recovery . Doctor may also give plaster or recommend physical therapy . For now apply ice pack , take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain and keel your elevated while lying down .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
