Question:
I've got a lot of bruising from my sprain and want to know if that's normal?
I got an x-ray done and it's not broken, but I've noticed more bruising as the days go by. The first couple days it was just bruised below the ankle, but now the whole top of my foot is kind of dark, and there's almost a line of bruising along my toes. Is it normal for a sprain to show bruising in different places after different days, or should I get checked out again?
Answers:
Yes, I think it's normal, but I don't think it's good. You may be using it too much. Did you get crutches? You might want to consider that. Sure, it's awkward and uncomfortable for a couple weeks, but if you permanently damage your ankle, you could be uncomfortable the rest of your life!
