Suggest Remedy For Persistent Pain And Swelling In Ankle Post Injury
I sprained my ankle two weeks ago. Xrayed and was told nothing is broke :) However, I m hoping nothing else is wrong. I still can t walk on it without it throbbing and its still swollen. Anything besides RICE that I can do? I m a waitress and have already missed almost a week of work.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, ankle sprain is such injury that could take little more time to comer around, you need to be very patience, if you have not done the x-ray then it is advisable to get it don to rule out the fracture, such injury may need splint or crab bandage, try to keep the leg in elevated position for the pain and swelling "Tab Ibuprofen 400 mg three time in day" hope this information helps, take care.
