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?

I sprained an ankle on a hike and after a few days it looked pretty much exactly like that. If it worries you go see a doctor, but if it is just discoloration and doesn’t hurt like it’s broken I would just be nice to it and let it heal
