What Causes Painful Swelling In The Foot After An Ankle Injury?
9 days ago I twisted my ankle when my foot fell asleep at a luncheon and I went to stand up and it rolled underneath me. I ve taken ibuprofen, rested it, applied ice off and on, elevated it a lot. It is still swollen and very painful. it will keep me awake unless I take ibuprofen, 3 at bedtime, and it will wake me up after 6 hours. I m 68 years old, female. Anything else I can do?

Hello,
I think you may have a broken ankle so you should do x-rays and consult your orthopedic surgeon.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Valbona Selmani
