i looked down at my foot only to notice a knot sized lump was beginning to develop where the top of my ankle meets the top of my foot. it has developed rapidly and began to bruise almost instantly. it is sore to the touch, and also almost numb feeling. my foot is very cold. the bruising is getting more spotted. should i go get it checked now or wait?:
Dear friend, you have not mentioned since when you are having this symptom and how it started. Do you have any other swelling in the same limb? It could be an enlarged tortuous vein (varicose vein), infected bursa or a ganglion. You need not be panicked. Better not to wait. Go and consult a surgeon.
