For a few weeks I’ve had a very mild pain on top of my foot/front of ankle area and a few days ago I was just having a feel of that area and I felt a lump or bump shall we say…. Later that night started getting difficult to walk on and then got swollen and these days since then its been painful, really swollen, right foot ankle only.
I went to the GP who said he doesn’t think its bone related as I can walk on it and move it around (although with a bit of pain, not terrible) and there was no direct physical trauma or injury or anything with it that I can remember…
He didn’t think it was infection as it wasn’t warm to touch, my temp is not high or anything and wasn’t unbearable to press the area like he thinks it would be if it was infection. I do have eczema on my feet but there's no cuts or anything directly at the point of swollen ankle ......
(I haven’t had an x ray or anything either).
GP thinks it could be a sprain but not really sure and just come back in a week or something if its not got better.
So been a few days now and it’s hard to walk on, swollen, hurts to press the area and it just feels really horrible. Like if my foot is elevated its painless but as soon as I de elevate my foot the blood rushes to the area and its so painful.
I’m 25. Weight training pretty often.
What could it possibly be? Or what could I do to better it? Should I be resting it? GP said take anti inflammatory tabs but I don’t normally like taking any pills. But could consider it for this if its worth it?
