Suggest Treatment For Pain And Swelling Under Ankle Bone With Normal X Ray

Hello my daughter was bucked off a horse and drug about two foot on Nov 15, we took her that day to ER and she complained of her leg hurting about middle of the calf, so they xrayed her leg and didn't find any breaks, she had swelling below ankle bone and leg, told her to start walking on it, she did and a bruise came out on side of leg, and still had swelling in her ankle, week later her ankle and heel started hurting took her back and they xrayed her ankle and foot and said it was just a sprain, advised her to brace her ankle for one week she did that and rested for a week, now the outside of her calf where bruise was has a hard spot and still has swelling under ankle bone, still has pain. What could this be? Do we need to seek further medical attention?

Hello
Thanks for your query
After going through your query I came to know that you got injury to your leg and ankle and you got sprain ankle and hematoma. If you has no fever, then no need to worry much. Hematoma gradually resolved by itself .Thrombophob gel local application three times a day over it(no rubbing) can help in resolving it. For pain relief analgesic such as ibuprofen can be taken. X ray has already done to rule out fracture.You can discuss with your Doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any further questions then don't hesitate to writing to us . I will be happy to help you.
