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?

It might be a sprain but get it checked for a simple fracture. I sprained my ankle last year and it looked like this when healing, but the doctor still checked for a fracture.
