Badly bruised ankle 6 weeks ago

[NoComparison]

I gave it a really good bang on a rock. It was very painful and quite swollen for a few days, but then became just a niggle.

But it still hurts and it's more than 6 weeks ago now. It's by no means agony and I'd feel a bit stupid going to A & E, but it does still hurt if it's turned even slightly, and Zumba this morning was a very bad idea!

Does anyone know if this is normal for a bruised bone?

It can take ages for a bruised bone to heal, sometimes months. A&E won't x ray an old injury, it's not really a current accident or an emergency. You're best off going to see your GP, maybe you need some physio or something??
