Hi

If there are Injury to any of the tendons, bones or ligaments in the ankle can cause ankle pain. Sprain is the common cause of ankle pain , which occurs when the ankle joint is forcefully twisted or if it is subjected to bending

This can cause an ligament to stretch or tear. Ankle sprains can can happen during sporting events or simply when you walk and unstep or walking on un even surface

- Do not over strain and apply moist heat and ice with interchanging each other for 10 minutes each 3-4 times daily

- Use soft leather shoes or sandals

- Can apply pain relieving gel like diclofenac gel especially before going to bed, gently apply and do not rub

- Can take calcium tablets and vit e tablets for 10 days

If you still have any problems after two weeks please contact us(Health Care Magic)

Wish You Good Health
