[|AI|]  Hello, As post-injury, there are expectations of the swelling due to inflammation of the muscular system and with icing, the swelling will come down. It is good there isn't any fracture, so the healing time will be shorter.  Using icing, crêpe bandage and simple ankle toe movements will help reduce swelling and regain muscle property of contract-relax. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Jay In Chat Doctor.
