Can The Swelling And Soreness In Shin After An Injury Be Treated?
I banged my shin quite badly 5days ago. There is still some residual soreness and swelling in my shin, but it is reducing. However, yesterday I noticed that my ankle had started to swell and disco our - though with no pain or discomfort at all.
Are the 2 things related?
Thanks

hello,
thank you for using healthcare magic .
I read your question and understood your concern.
I think these two events are you related to each other . Your ankle is swollen now because the edema or swelling is going down due to gravity so it is in the process of healing.
It will take at least two or three weeks for the whole swelling to go down.
I wish you quick recovery.
