Suggest Treatment For Swollen And Painful Lump On The Ankle
I was weed eating and rock flew out and hit the inside of my ankle right on the bone that sticks out there. It knotted up instantly with about a 1 inch lump. The swelling has gone down about half way (been about 3 hours now). uncomfortable when walking on it, some pain from ankle bone along to big toe area. What is the best thing to do?

Thanks for sharing your problem here on this forum. It's been 3 hours you got injury. The lump is usually the swelling of injury.or sometime accumulated blood.but no need to worry about it. It will subsid by itself. Just take painkillers like diclofenic and take rest. Keep through leg above your heart when lying. .hope you will be fine soon. Thanks
