Swollen Ankle

2022-06-15 16:31:32
I had twisted my ankle while playing football and had a big swelling and it did pain a lot for the first few minutes, however, I didn't feel much pain after that. After few days, the swelling is almost gone but there's still a small bump and it feels like a strain. I had tried to soak my feet in hot water with salt and also some used ice pack but nothing works.
