How Can A Sprained Ankle Be Treated?

I sprained my ankle a week ago Wednesday and the bruising has moved to my toes. I am still very uncomfortable. Is this normal? I did elevate and iced it initially. I have been wearing a brace constantly. It aches constantly. Is this the way it’s going to be for awhile?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As it aches constantly, I suggest you to do X-ray of that affected ankle. You can take tablet Tylenol for pain. Use ankle cap. Use Diclofenac gel or ointment. Treatment mainly depends upon underlying condition.
Consult with orthopedician with reports.

Take care.
