Hi i am Dr Ahmed Aly
thanks for using healthcaremagic site ,
I had gone through your question and understand your concerns ..

For my patients i suggest NSAIDS like advil twice daily , hot massaging wit topical gels , antiedematous drugs from OTC over the counter , slabbing it and elevation of her ankle on two pillows and avoiding standing or dropping her leg for too long will be effective for her if not i suggest further investigation of other underlying causes and proper evaluation like Xrays and CT .
