Twisted Ankle
So, I twisted my ankle on 31st night and it was swollen with extreme pain. However, the pain has subsided and I got an x-ray done which shows bones, joint space and soft tissue are all normal. But the swelling isn't going away. So my ankle is swollen now with little pain. I can move around easily though. Is there anything serious?

⢠Contrast bath---It is a form of treatment where a limb or the entire body is immersed in warm water followed by the immediate immersion of the limb or body in ice water. 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.
