Why do I get ankle pain and swelling
I am a 28 year old female and I fell from the stairs yesterday. I am now facing severe ankle pain and swelling and I am not able to walk. I kind of get shocks when I give pressure on my ankle. Can someone tell me what it is? Should I consult a doctor or just take a pain killer?
