Lower part of leg twisted
Hi doctor, My lower part of the leg got twisted around 90° while playing badminton. I had to sit for half an hr after that. I'm able to walk and move my fingers but my leg is swollen at the ankle. This happened yesterday at around 7 PM. Even now it's the same. What do you suggest, shall I consult a doctor or take a pain killer for it?
