Swelling in foot and ankle
Yesterday I was playing football when I was tackled from behind and fell forwards. It was paining a bit slightly then but nothing was too serious and I continued playing with slight pain. However , when I came home, I found a slight swelling a bit side of my ankle and a little swelling in the foot. Applied ice. Today the pain is almost gone except the swelling.
