I sprained my ankle and the bone got bigger?

Question

I sprained my ankle about half a year ago. There was internal bleeding and my ankle turned purple. Now it's healed but the bone or something got a little bigger than the one in my other ankle.

What happened? Will it go away?

Answer 1

it's not the bone that's bigger, it's the ligament. I've had several sprained ankles I hate to say, but I've experienced the same thing that you describe. but when the ligament heals itself there's now scar tissue remaining that makes it appear larger than it was before. you'll get used to it.

Answer 2

No the ankle is getting bigger with swelling
