Spained ankle
I had an ankle ligament tear about a month ago. After i went to the orthopaedic he plastered it for around 2 weeks. After the removal of plaster its been 2 weeks and a bit of swelling is still there. I can walk normally too. But is this a bit of swelling normal for the next few weeks? And how much tym it will take to completely heal? And also i am wearing ankle grip as suggested by the orthopaedic for the next 4 weeks.

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.
