It started off just small and red and over the past week it has gotten to about the size of a tennis ball and its all black and blue and then around it is red. My ankle is all swollen and when I walk it hits really bad. What kind of bite could this be?

It could be a bite from a recluse spider. Does the bite have a center to it? Mine did and I had a horrible time. It was on my knee and it was black and blue, swollen, red, the works. It sounds like you should get to a doctor, clinic or er asap. I got anti-biotics and it took quite a while for my leg to get back to normal. It started out small and then it escalated. It hurt really bad when I walked too, I had to limp or not put weight on my leg at all. That could be what you have. Get some anti-biotics quick. You don't want it to get any more infected then it already is. Good luck.

I badly sprained my ankle about 3 weeks ago. I was in a hurry going down the stairs, lost my balance and landed on a bad side of my left foot, causing my left ankle to be stretched going on the inside. The first 48 hours were excruciating and the pain was un-believable. I've never had a serious ankle injury before.
So I immediately treated it using the RICE method. The following day, the bruising and swelling were so horrible. I found out that I got a second degree sprain and immediately panicked after that. I had a football game on that week and it been looking forward to it because I've been training for rt. I had teammates that had similar injuries and it took them months to fully recover, some of them stopped playing altogether. So I kinda had a short-term depression because I can't imagine myself not being able to run and play sports anymore.
Because I was so desperate to recover again, I contacted a lot of people that I know who do sports and asked them if they had similar injuries. One friend of mine, from the boy's football team in my university, told me about H.E.M. Ankle Rehab. I got a copy 4 days after I got injured. I immediately read and followed what was instructed and felt improvement on the first day. I was able to walk a bit, but I was in pain.
A couple of days after that, the swelling and bruising were subsid-ing significantly and on the fourth day, I was walking comfortably again. Although I've had felt a bit of stiffness, I continued doing what was instructed. My sister was surprised that I have recovered this fast. I told her about this book and was shocked on how effective the procedures were. I'm just so happy that this book was shared to me and how effective it is.
Heal your ankle fully & fast?

Sounds like a spider bite. I would definately make an appointment to see a doctor.

Could be a spider bite or you may be having a allergic reaction to a bite you recieved. I would definitley go to the dr. or e.r. to have that checked out. Sounds like it is infected since it is inflammed.

It sounds like a spider bite gone bad. My sister just had one a few weeks ago. I would call your doctor and ask them what to do.
