Suggest Treatment To Get Rid Of Pain Due To Sprained Ankle
I sprained my ankle severely four and a half months ago. I'm still doing exercises to improve my range of movement. Stretching cold is uncomfortable but I'm not always in a situation where a 15 minute walk to warm up is possible. Would a heating agent such as Deep Heat cream be suitable to aid in warm up?

Hello,
Thanks for your query.
To get relief from the pain and for quick healing:
1. Do hot fomatation at the site.
2. Apply local anti-inflammatory gel 2-3 times a day.
3. Take anti-inflammatory drugs like Ibuprofen to reduce pain and local swelling or inflammation.
4. For early recovery you may have Physiotherapy in form of short wave diathermy and TENS.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
