Last Friday I noticed my ankle was swollen when we were at the park. I had raced my daughter to the
car, but didn't roll my ankle or feel any pain. Saturday my foot started to turn black and blue.
Yesterday I walked on it too much and when I went to bed it seemed even more swollen, but no severe
pain, not even medium pain.

A visit to the doctor and radiology today revealed no fracture or sprain. So what gives?

Last Wednesday I bashed my left shin, just below the kneecap, with a 17lb. post driver. Luckily
I was wearing jeans when it happened so I was spared a large cut. Instead, a bruise formed and
the doctor said I must've ruptured a blood vessel under the skin, which drained into my foot. In
two weeks or so I should look as good as old!

Yikes, it looks like it should hurt. Hey, did you find any four leaf clovers while you were taking photos?

I recommend you stay indoors. Feel better soon!

How bizarre! Glad it looks worse than it sounds!

Wow, looks like you have had a rough week. I hope everything is better in a couple of weeks.

Yikes! That is quite the sore sight! My ankle looked much like that a few months ago when I twisted it (yes, I'm a klutz!).
