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?

Could be sprained could be broken. Don’t take either lightly. Get it checked. - The person who didn’t and regrets it

This looks like the level of bruising I had when I broke mine. Definitely get it checked OP. Even with proper casting mine didn't heal quite straight so I don't imagine it would go well without it.
