Ankle injury
I fell down my steps earlier today around 1 pm. I instantly had ankle pain. I do not swell much at all or bruise when I get a injury. I have sprained my ankle before due to cheerleading. I have major pain, and it hurts to walk. I have been icing it, and I did take Tylenol and ibuprophen and it isn't really helping

take rest. have etoricoxib 90mg twice along with trypsin chymotrypsin tablets for 3 days. antacids for acidity. xray to make sure no bony injury and to check for strain or sprain. rest is most important. swelling wont go away if u keep walking with that ankle or if u stress it too much. dipping in warm saline water will help reduce swelling.
