Twisted My Ankle, Now Swollen But Doesn't Hurt. Able To Walk, Just Stiff
I think I twisted my ankle or something a couple weekends ago while being an idiot. It is slightly swollen under/around the ankle, but doesn t hurt. It did for a few days while normal walking but within a week, I ve been able to walk just about the same as always. If I twist it certain ways it gets very uncomfortable or a little painful, but otherwise it feels okay, just tight/stiff. Any ideas?

Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
you will have to do the following,
1.take an x ray
2.wear a crepe bandage,
3. elevate you foot while sleeping
4.take tab lysoflam twice daily
5.you can get an mri to find out any ligament injury
if xrays are abnormal consult an orthopaedician.
