General Medical Question - Non Urgent - Foot/Ankle
Basically, on Friday night in the pitch black, i fell up a step, and smacked me ankle right on the part that joins to your foot (the bendish thing), It's grazed and bruised but apart from that I didn't see much of a problem, other than a bit of soreness.
On Saturday evening, I went flying down the stairs at a train station, and think I may have twisted my ankle or something, because my foot has been swollen, and a little bruised ever since, and I've been finding it difficult to put weight on my foot, but since there isnt much bruising have resisted getting checked out.
I keep getting what feels like pins and needles (but worse) in my foot, and the top seems to have a slight lump to it, that my other foot doesn't have, releatively near to wear the first knock it had to my ankle was (though it is kinda hard to tell if it's just swollen) It's still hurting to move my ankle and the ankle bone itself is still sore to touch.
I've been Using a cold water bandage on the area, and have been trying to keep it elevated, and havent been walking very much on it (Or Haven't been attempting to walk too much!) as It is hurting a lot to put pressure on.
I'm wondering if anyone has any advice on anything else I can do to maybe help it heal quicker? Also if this would be worth going to get checked out?
Thanks for any advice & Sorry for the long information.
