Swelling in the foot due to bone fractur

2017-08-19 16:16:21
3 months before, I met had a bone fracture in the accessory bone on left leg, just above the ankle. But still there is a swell in the ankle area that pains. Also there is little swell in the fracture point. The doctor whom I consulted told, it will be fine after few days, but still it is not reducing. Any solutions??
