Back in october, I slipped while playing ddr and banged my leg on the side of the metal ddr machine on the spot a couple of inches above my ankle. theres still a bruise there and it hurts a bit when i press on it. Should I go see the doctor?

You can't bruise bone. A bruise is a soft tissue injury to which blood has accumulated to effect more rapid repair.
Easy or prolonged bruising is an indicator of lack of vitamin C.
Do as Dr Dave (above) says; take some vitamin C regularly and it should heal. If it doesn't, visit a doctor.

hi,
you can see your doctor if you'd feel better.
but its not abnormal to have a bruise, still, after a deep muscle injury. if it doesn't clear up and the pain subside, you may want to see your doctor, as you may have injured that muscle deeply enough that it needs a taking a look at.
i hope this helped.

You probably bruised the bone. That takes much longer to go away.

As other possibilities, assuming you don't have a genetic condition, mild Vitamin deficiency can delay tissue healing.
Trying drinking more orange juice and see if the natural vitamin C helps...
It's good for ya anyway. ;-)
