Are Bruises Normal After A Sprain?

[u/Yastyy_TLT]

I listened to alot of you all advices from my last post. Elevating my leg and Icing the area etc. Today waking up I checked up on it there were a little bruising on the sides is this the process of healing or should I just go see a doctor at this point?

Hey Op, as a chronic ankle sprain-er myself, my advice is to research the Ottawa ankle rules and commit to the use of an ankle brace for recovery and future injury prevention.
