Pain and swelling in ankle joint
I'm having pain in my right ankle joint since past 2 weeks.
From last 3-4 days I can see some swelling as well.
I don't remember injuring my ankle anywhere. One morning I woke up and suddenly felt sharp pain just below the ankle ball joint.
Pain is worse in the morning, I'm not able to walk properly.

This procedure is repeated several times, alternating hot and cold. Note that the treatment should always end in the ice water, as heat will induce the body's inflammatory response, while cold helps to decrease inflammation.
