Weird swelling in one ankle/foot only?

Bit of back history first...

Likely broke my foot about 10 weeks ago now (drs aren't certain, but pretty sure, xray not 100% definitive.)

Still fair lump over the spot that I dropped the crowbar on. Uncomfortable often, but can't feel feet properly, so don't know exactly what it's doing.

But about a week and a half ago, maybe a bit longer, developed a blotch just above my ankle that's not going away. Burns at the blotch like a sunburn.

And - my ankle/foot on that side has started swelling, usually more late in the day, and fairly normal first thing in the morning. Local doc is stumped. Thinks it has something to do with my 'connective tissue issue' as they call it, lol. But, has anyone else had similar?

I do have a leaky heart valve, but doc says not relevant as one side only. So, ??

Forgive the dirty feet, had been outside in thongs, dusty as here at the moment

Hi Bengali,

Just saw your post and yes I also have one ankle that is slightly larger than the other. My dr has no idea why this is but assures me it isn’t to do with my heart. I haven’t had an accident like you with the crowbar, I just suddenly noticed one day (a good year or more ago) that it was a bit swollen and larger than the other ankle.

Weird, but perhaps as your dr says just part of our weird conditions. 🤷‍♀️

Hope it resolves itself soon. 🤗 Spotty 💕
