Suggest Treatment For Pain And Swelling In The Ankle After Injury
Help
Can be post traumatic arthritis.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The pain and swelling in the ankle that you have at night can be due to post traumatic arthritis. It can happen due to an old injury in the area. Standing on your feet whole day aggravates the swelling. In addition to pain killers you need to do a hot compress and keep the leg elevated on two pillows at night. Taking a muscle relaxant will also help. You can also use an elastic ankle brace during the day to provide extra support to the area.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
