Pain and swelling in ankle joint

2018-02-02 11:57:51
I'm having pain in my right ankle joint since past 2 weeks. From last 3-4 days I can see some swelling as well. I don't remember injuring my ankle anywhere. One morning I woke up and suddenly felt sharp pain just below the ankle ball joint. Pain is worse in the morning, I'm not able to walk properly.

• Stretch Calves • Get a custom made insole. • Hams Stretching. • Sports Taping. • Contrast bath---It is a form of treatment where a limb or the entire body is immersed in warm water followed by the immediate immersion of the limb or body in ice water. This procedure is repeated several times, alternating hot and cold. Note that the treatment should always end in the ice water, as heat will induce the body's inflammatory response, while cold helps to decrease inflammation.

Try applying Ice packs and hot water compression alternatively. Keep affected limb elevated. Medications like Enzomac will help in swelling. Get x-rays done . Blood parameters like esr, CRP and uric acid needs to be evaluated.
