Swollen Ankle, Swelling, Lumps After Hitting With Baseball. Chipped Bone?
I got hit with a baseball above my ankle close to the front of my leg. Hurt and was swollen. Now it swells badly and there are two lumps that are white on the surface and extremely hard. Im worried i have chipped a bone or something like that. Its ok to walk on it without shoes but is painful with shoes because its so swollen and hits my shoe.

Hello,
I have studied your case.
You can splint your ankle to get good relief.
Apply some compression bandage.
take rest and limb elevation to reduce swelling.
If your symptoms are not improving with the above measures, consult an orthopaedic surgeon for further management.
Hope this information is helpful. Good day
