[|Human|] Hi, My left ankle is swollen, and hurt when I try to walk. I did not hurt my foot or ankle in any way , the doctors gave me a anti inflammatory pills, but don;t help. I bought that icy cold cream and apply it, bought some joint juice, had 2 /day, i kept my foot in a cold water and a bit of ice. Still nothing....
[|AI|]  Hello, As for swelling which has happened all of a sudden we need to understand the systemic pathology and also the joint pathomechanics. Based on that the treatment line of action can be taken. If diabetic or high blood pressure then needs to rule out this pathology also. Since your doctor has prescribed the anti-inflammatory we can suspect that the doctor has diagnosed it with ligament sprain. An x-ray is advised. I will advise doing hot water, keep the limb elevated, do ankle toe movements and use crêpe bandage, so the swelling comes down. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jay In Chat Doctor.
