Blood clot (purple) after ankle sprain
My friend sprained her legs/ankle while playing badminton yesterday... we took her to a hospital and had the xray done. It was found that there was no bone injury.. but it was an internal bruise. The doctor asked her to put crepe bandage. Now a day later, the swelling has reduced but she has purplish blood clot on her feet. Are these normal due to the bandage?? Or should we see another doctor?

Check toes, shouldn't be cold or blue it happens if bandage is too tight Otherwise the blackish blue thing is haematoma, icing, crepe bandage and elevating leg will help a lot
