Today while walking the dogs,they banged into a huge steel farm fence and I didnt quite make it out in time.It fell on my right forearm and wrist,causing it to swell to huge proportions..It scraped my ankle but my wrist was my main concern

Got home and felt my ankle was sore and noticed that it had turned purple and was swollen..nothing broken,but my main concern was being able to work out tomorrow

They are both badly bruised and tomorrow is ABS day....

Me sore::(

Did u ice and elevate your injuries? ICing right away is crucial to fast recovery...can cut recovery in half or more...after 2-3 days u can start applying heat to the areas to improve circulation and speed up recovery further...oh yea you should have taken ibuprofen to slow the swelling/inflammation...if not there's always next time...LOL...jk

Sorry to hear you got hurt...get better soon :)
