What Does Sudden Swelling And Pain In Ankle With Stiff Foot Suggest?
Hi Doc, for no apparent reason my ankle suddenly began to hurt yesterday in the afternoon. I had been out at a party the night before (intoxicated) but had not noticed an issue, I did not notice anything the during the day and then suddenly seem to feel my ankle had swollen up only minimally and began to hurt. I kept waking on it but slowly it began to hurt more. I ignored it and went out again last night and today it has got worst. I am walking on it but not properly. It is like a sponge wrapped around my ankle that goes stiff when I try to put pressure on my foot and when I move it to the side. It seems really strange, especially considering how I fail to see where I could have damaged it. I have had a hot bath but that has failed to do anything. Is there anything you could suggest - preferably something other than just takkmh medication. Thank you and festive greetings
Thanks for asking See first give rest to your ankle joint with few pain killers for 5 days with a strap on your ankle joint. Avoid exercise, jumping and walking these days. If it does not subside consult a ortho specialist once as investigations might be needed
