Suggest Treatment For Soreness And Pain After Ankle Injury

I got hit with a puck playing ice hockey 2 weeks ago. The puck hit me on the inside of the skate at the ankle. The inside ball of the ankle is really sore, like a bruise. The swelling is gone, but I can't put the skate on without feeling pain from pressure on the ankle bone. Any ideas on what I can do, or how long until the injury will subside?

Hi
Thanks for your query
After going through your query I came to know that you had injury ankle while playing ice hockey 2 weeks ago. It seems to me soft tissue injury (sprain). X-ray may be done to exclude fracture. You should not use it till it pains. Splint can be used to rest it. Analgesic such as diclofenac will be of use for pain. You can take vitamin B-complex and C to promote healing. You can discuss your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then please don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. You can also write to me directly on below link:
