What does it mean when you have a blue and swollen ankle?

Question:

I hit my leg on my comp desk and the edge was sharp so i got a huge baseball size bruise on my shin and it got swollen, so i put ice on it and it got the swelling down. Its been almost a week and its a lil bit swollen still and the bruise is still there (i bruise easily and takes me a while til the bruise goes away) but now i noticed that my ankle which is not connected to my bruise has gotten a lil bit swollen and its blue and brown by the bones on either side, it doesnt hurt at all there, the bruise still hurts to the touch, but why do you think my ankle is bruised looking and swollen now?

Answers:
You are bleeding internally. By the size of it, it might take a month or two to fully heal. the ankle was probably from something else, although you might have unconsciously twisted it a little when you jumped after hurting your knee.

Other Answers:
bruised or broken or sprained it. i twist my ankle. my nephew had ran into w/ his roller blades. my mom and sis had told i sprained it. my ankle was just bruised. but i couldn't even walk on it. i waited about for about 2 ½ days until my boyfriend had to force to take me in to the er. i hate going. but they ex ray my foot. come to fine out my ankle came out of shock it, towarn ligaments, and broke my bone in half slant way. the next day had surgery. had gotten screws put in from both side and on the bone w/ a plate. all that just from him running into me. so basically you wont know until you see a doc or go to the er. hey it could be nothing too. i wasn't so lucky.
