Hello there, I sprained my right ankle along the CFT and AFT ligaments, the symptoms include the fact that I heard a popping sound when it happened. I was on a cast for 2 weeks and still not fully healed, the cast is off but i still am unable to regain back my form. Should I eat cartigen to speed the recovery?
Hi, Thanks for your query. Now after 2 weeks, you need strengthening exercises to regain the strength so that you can walk properly.- Compress or bandage the injured area to limit any swelling and movement that could damage it further. You can use a cr\u00eape bandage or a simple elastic bandage - Keep the injured area raised and supported on a pillow to help reduce swelling. - Gentle massage with a painkiller cream over the injured area might be helpful I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
