Right Ankle ligament torn
Hi
While coming down from steps my right ankle got twisted and we found out severe damage in ATFL. Got a fiber cast for 8 weeks and got it removed couple of days before and currently using a ankle brace and also physio has been suggested for 6 weeks.
Now the issue is there is a huge swelling around ankle and post physio and also after trying to walk, swelling has been increased drastically. Is this is going to be a normal one after cast? And what preventive measures need to be taken?
Also I have almost same discomfort in ankle while walking like what I had before the cast.
Pls suggest.
