Whats wrong with my ankle?!
Question: About 12 days ago, i sprained my ankle playing basketball. I had a huge egg on the side of my ankle almost immediately. I went to hospital and the Doc said i hadn't broken it and i didnt even need an x-ray. Im quite paranoid about these sort of things. My ankle now is in barely any pain but there is bruising around my ankle and up to my toes. Although, it is still quite swollen, especially near the ball of my ankle. Can anybody just confirm i havnt broken it as im really worried symptoms dont last this long. Thank you!

You have an oedema. It's a gathering of fluid around an injury site caused by inflammation. Nothing to worry about. Your lymphatic system will drain away the fluid. To speed it up, try moving around, but within limits! no running on that ankle.
Go to a physical therapist.I went for a month and have not injured myself since then
pian can last for weeks on a sprained ankles even brusing can show up if your that worred go back and demand a xray of it
Like you said you probably just bruised it. Don't must bruises not cause any pain after a while?!
