My husband got jumped back to get out of the horse way and started saying how bad his leg hurt in the calf part. I thought he had a muscle cramp? But since three weeks ago he has complained of it hurting. Now it is swelling and turning purple on his ankle and shin areas very sentive to touch The ER doc checked for blood clot due to he has surgery last fall on his back. What do you think could be happening??
HiT hanks for your question. Brief answer Soft tissue injury ? Ligamnet sprain around ankleDetailed answering the jump your husband has injured his ankle. I high be a soft tissue injury might be a ligament sprain. Can you upload clinical image for better evaluation? You need to get a radiograph of ankle to rule out bony injury. Swelling and purple color is due to the bruise, will darken and will fade away. But you have to rule out injuries. Thanking you regards
