Suggest Treatment For Swelling In The Ankle
Question: I have had a swollen right ankle for a month now with no pain. this morning I feel a little pinching on the top of my ankle. my left ankle is fine?
Brief Answer:
Can be due to mild inflammation.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
swelling of only one ankle with no pain can be due to dependent feet increased salt intake or a mild inflammation in the joint. The pinching sensation can be due to the swelling. it is not likely to be a serious issue. keep the foot elevated on two pillows while resting and see if it subsides.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
