Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Suggest Possible Treatment For Sprain In Ankle & Swelling Like A Bump
I think I sprained my ankle three weeks ago. I got an x ray and came back fine. It is still swollen but doesn t really hurt? I have iced ot and heated it the swelling like a bump around bone I think? Don t know what to do. I can walk and run on it. But worried about why it is swollen still?
As there is no fracture this us a ligament sprain. I will advise you to use the ankle brace or crepe bandage so the swelling comes down and also it will provide stability to the joint while walking. Please allow 3 weeks of time and you should have no symptoms.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Jay Indravadan Patel, Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist
