Sprained ankle
(2 discussions)
I sprained my ankel a week ago. I’ve had a little pain and swelling since then. Today I noticed pain in my calf area and tingling on the bottom of my foot. I have an appointment with my doctor in a week, should I see someone sooner? Is there something I can do besides RICE and ibuprofen to get some relief?

If you are already doing the common sense RICE and Ibuprofen, then see someone sooner if you are concerned.

I broke my heel in 5 places and dislocated my ankle. How do I make the swelling go down in my ankle? It’s been 2 weeks and one day since it happened. I’ve been to the doctor, but have no cast on my foot. My foot and the back of my calf is very swolen. I also have fracture blisters on both sides of my ankle from the break. How should I make swelling go down?
