Hi all,

Hope everyone well(ish?).

About 3wks ago, I was putting away the kids toys in the garden and I hit my ankle (on the inside of leg) with a scooter. It was really sore and was red and came up in a lump. My ankles have been swollen on and off for months but this lump from the scooter is still there. It's very sore and swollen-could this be I've chipped a bone? It's never went down and it's still really sore as if it's just happened.
Any ideas?

Thanks,

Magenta x

    Hi Val,

    Yeah, I've done all that but it's still painful. It's sore to touch like a bump usually is, not like my other inflammation.
