ankle sprain a week ago (due to sports, have sprained many times). was a typical stepped in a hole and rolled it type of injury (on golf course). this swelled a bit and then went down quickly, was painful for a day or so and then no pain. BUT rash on outside ankle bone (the joint bone area) and itchiness persists. haven t seen doctor, resumed physical activity...but not sure what s going on.

1)If it is very recent injury (2)do crepe bandaging around ankle jt.
3)at night while taking rest elevate ankle so that swelling can be avoided
4)if swelling is presented around ankle jt orthopaedic concern is needed.
5)take rest and do not apply pressure on affected limb
6) take concern of Physiotherapist.
