Bruised ankle
(2 discussions)
I work in a warehouse and had an auto part fall on my ankle (inside of right).
I put ice pack on and have done so for 2-3 days.
It really hurts and I am not certain what to do now.
I don’t have insurance and can’t afford to go to doctor.
Taking Advil or Tylenol do not help.

While I do not know if this job has worker's comp coverage, you might ask. If so, then there needs to be a report made. Then someone needs to tell you how to see a doctor. Many doctors in Texas do not treat worker's comp patients. If this is not an option, I think you still should see a doctor and have an x-ray. It would likely be less costly than going to the emergency room.
