General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

I think with all your symptoms you should go to ER and get immediate evaluation and treatment there.

For the moment, I advise to:

- apply cold compresses to the bruised area and on the sprained ankle
- take oral magnesium and painkillers to ease the pain and muscle stiffness.

However, it is very important to go to ER and ensure that you are not having any broken bone.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Albana Sejdini, General & Family Physician
