How Can Pain And Swelling In The Legs And Ankles Be Treated?
I fell last week twisting both ankles on the way down. I felt a lot of pulling and tearing. Now I have a lot of bruising on both ankles, swelling and a lot of pain when I stand or walk plus I have bruising and a lot of swelling in both knees. The ortho doctor looked at briefly and said that I sprained both knees and both ankles and there was nothing that can be done but time. I’m now experiencing radiating pain up my legs and pain in my toes and arches.

Hi,
It can be due to sprain or minor contusion developed following that injury.
As of now, you can take analgesics like Acetaminophen or Tramadol for pain relief.
Apply ice packs.
If symptoms persist, better to consult an orthopedician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
