Didn't find the answer you are looking for?
Talk to experienced orthopedist online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
If it's after an injury like twisting ankle then it can take upto 2 months to heal and swelling can last 6 months.
If it's due to varicose then you have to get it confirmed by getting Doppler ultrasound and also get an opinion from a general surgeon.
Also make sure your vitamin d and b12 levels are normal. If low, then pains won't go.
Get injections for vitamin in such case.
