I injured my calf musle? I felt a pop and within 2-3 days I had swelling and of course you could see later that blood had was in the swelling. A week later I injured my knee. This was back in August and I continue to have my ankle swell with water. When I elevate it over night it has disapated. This has continued for 4 months now. I have talked with a doctor and they said because of my age it takes longer to heal. Does it really take this long to heal or the water swelling on my ankle to go away?
