Suggest Treatment For Pain And Swelling Below Ankle After A Twist

I twisted my ankle and then rolled my ankle several times in one day. There was and is not much pain, but all of a sudden there is swelling on that foot just below my ankle bone on the outside of my foot. There still is not much pain; it just is a little sore to the touch or when I cross my ankles. What might be wrong and is it necessary for me to see a doctor when there is no pain and I can walk with no or very little discomfort?

Welcome to HCM
i have read and understood your query
hope you will find it helpful
You must have pulled your muscle when you rolled your ankle
In my opinion the best is to massage the foot with iodex or vicks and keep it warm and covered at night with a cloth or dressing.Donot put much pressure on the ankle while walking.
it will relieve in a week or so.
But if swelling persists or pain increases get an xray done and see an orthosurgeon
Hope it helped.You can reach me anytime withanother query
