Swollen Ankle, Kindly Suggest Remedies

Hi, my ankle is swollen, kind of bellow the ankle and all the way around the top of my heel . It very painful to touch or walk on. I can not stretch my foot out. It has been like this for about 3 weeks and seems to be getting worse. I went to the er and had xrays and ultrasound- no broke bones and no blood clots. I need any info available. Our local hospital is horrible. I can t see my permanent general practitioner until May 2. Thank you.

Hello there..
welcome to healthcare magic forum..
Please get a repeat X ray done. Your symptoms are suggestive of Fracture may be hairline which was not detected in your previous x ray.In the mean time avoid pressure on that particular foot and apply hot water bags for the swelling to reduce..
Hope this helps.
take care..
