ACL , MCL tear and Ankle sprain
During Mar 2021, I twisted my RIGHT ankle and had a sprain.l took rest for one week and after that I can able to walk and run. But the swelling near the ankle region is still there(no pain) and I can't able to move my fourth and little toe like my other leg. During Sep 2021 when I was playing cricket,I started to feel pain in my RIGHT knee and there was a swelling little beneath my knee. I took some rest and the pain was gone. So I started to play again after some days and I started to feel pain(little beneath the knee) while climbing stairs. So I went to a orthopaedic doctor in GH in Nov 2021 and took a MRI scan(RIGHT knee).He said that there is a partial ACL tear and grade 2 tear in medial meniscus. He said to take rest for 1 month and to wear a knee brace. Also he told that "swelling in the ankle will go away, Don't worry about that".Its been 8 months still the swelling is there.
kindly help with an answer about the swelling in ankle and when to return to sports activities again.

Talk to experienced orthopedist online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
I feel you have ignored that you might be deficient in vitamins d and b12. In such case healing won't happen and chronic pains are the result.
Mri knee findings could be chance findings too . If your knee is ok don't worry about the reports.
Get vitamin checked and take injectable supplement and you will feel better in a week or so.
Next Steps
get vitamin checked
Health Tips
take injectable supplement, consult if not working
