Hello, I sprained my ankle two days ago and it became very painful and swollen. I have treated it with ice, a bandage and ibuprofen but it has become more swollen and I am not experience pins and needles in the foot. It is not painful and is not painful to touch. Any advise?
you may have an x-ray taken for ankle and foot and consult orthopedics doctor. Keep foot and leg elevated and try hot fomentation now. The ankle should be properly strapped by Pleistocene bandage after applying anti-inflammatory gel and fermentation. Even if its sprain only, differ standing or walking for 10 days unless your orthopedic doctor finds minor sprain and permits weight-bearing. Best wishes. Chat Doctor.
