Post fracture swelling

2017-10-27 14:03:04
I have recovered from a right lower leg fracture from an accident and also have a skin graft over my right lower leg. I walk with a stick now n I have swelling around my ankle even after the fracture has healed. Its been a month that my fracture has healed but the swelling around my ankle has not reduced. What can I do to reduce it fast as it pains a little while walking?
