A severe swelling in Ankle
My mom is having a severe swelling in her ankle. She barely can walk properly. She is an active woman and a house maker. But the swelling in her right leg ankle is more than 4 months. She puts a bandage on with some ayurvedic ointment, it feels better for a while but the pain persists again. We tried all the home remedies. Her bone density is quite weak. I anticipate there could be a minor fracture looking at her condition. She is afraid of a plaster and staying at home on a bed rest. It would be great if someone can come for a home visit.
