How Can Pain And Swelling In The Ankles Be Treated?
Hi, I think I ruptured or injured my Achilles tendon. I was kneeling down and went to get up when I heard a pop. I couldn t move my foot and couldn t put any weight on it. My ankle has since swelled up a bit, hurts when I run, and am unable to plant or change directions. I also have lost strength in that ankle. What can I do to rehab it?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
First of all do orthopedics consultation who can confirm the diagnosis and if you really have tendon rupture it should be SX managed and follow Ortho opinion.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
