Sprained ankle
I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago and still have pain and swelling. It seems more of a lump on my ankle then anything. I had x-rays done at the ER and they said nothing was broken. I bruised from my toes to right under my calf. My foot also turned like a blue color. Is all of this normal with an ankle sprain???

Yes bruises doappear blue from the blood that is spread throughout the tissue that is injured. Just because you were X-rayed in the ER and no fracture was noted does not mean you absolutely do not have one. X-rays do not show ligament injuries, where an MRI does. If you are still hurting and concerned then go see a podiatrist or orthopedist.
