What Causes Swelling And Heat Around The Ankle Along With Stinging Sensation?

Can a bruise turn into a blood clot? Two weeks ago I had an object, probably a chunk of wood, ejected from a bush hog hit the outside of my left ankle. It swole and turned black and blue within minutes. Most of the discoloration has cleared but the ankle is still slightly swollen, and feels slightly warm. It also has a slight stinging sensation at times.

Hi

One of the reason for swollen part at the ankle is due to the inflammation that occurred due to the wood injury that happened two weeks back

Generally these kind of symptoms will get relieved in two to three weeks

Suggest you apply ice pack on the affected part and this has to be done atleast twice daily for next one week

Apply pain relieving gel like Diclofenac on the affected part

Do not do walking or exercise for atleast one month and do not try to rub the affected part even during applying the gel. As this may aggravate the symptoms

Do regular meditation

Wish You Good Health
