Hit the inside of my left ankle with a hammer a little over a week ago. The bruising is almost gone but the lump that was there after the accident is still there, it hurts when pressed on and I am wondering if I have just insulted my tendon and it will heal with time or is this something more serious and I need medical attention
Welcome to Chat Doctor. If it hurts only when you press it, then you need not worry. Avoid prolonged standing and physical exertion. Use crêpe bandage. Generally soft tissues take 6 weeks to heal.
