Ankle Pain
I probably twisted my ankle on Tuesday night when I woke up to drink water at 3 am. At 4 I woke up with pain in my swollen heel. I was feverish too. I used relispray and took 1 tablet of zerodol-p and slept. Wednesday morning everything was fine so I went to office. Thursday too everything was fine and no pain at all. But on Friday morning I felt a tinge of pain but it had transferred from heel to middle of th e feet from below. I went to office and the pain kept increasing but not alarming. On Friday night it increased a lot and I took another zerodol-p as I got feverish again and slept. But Saturday morning pain was high with slight swollenness. Consulted a doctor online who prescribed etoshine-mr, pan-d, chymoral forte. I am doing cold compress, put a crepe bangade too and taking rest. Is this transfer of pain after 2 days common? How come it went away and came back? Do I need to take anything else like calcium tabs or ligament repair tab? No xray done yet. It's tough to walk.

Take the meds and give it a week.
Any ligament injury takes about 2 weeks to heal if it is a partial injury
If pain persists, go back to your doctor
