What Causes Swelling And Pain On The Ankle After An Injury?

I hurt the right side of my left ankle and it was swollen and sore for about a week before i decided to go to the dr. They did xrays and said they didnt see a break but its still hurts pretty bad especially when i use it normally. i have no problem putting weight on it or bending it down, just bending it up like walking normal or flexing.

Hello,

Your symptoms seem to be related to the injury. I suggest maintaining the area immobilized.

I also recommend to use ice compresses and use anti-inflammatory medicine such as Ibuprofen 400mg three times a day.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
