How Can Swelling In The Ankle Be Treated?

I had my knee brace too tight and now my ankle is swollen. The calf is a little tender. More like achy- QQ can I still go to the gym tonight, or should I go home and put it up? I just saw it and took the brace off an hour ago (I ran the LA marathon March 18th)

Hello,

Please do not tie too tight. In this condition, if you go to the gym, you will get a lot of pain.

So kindly change the brace to loosen it and let the swelling decrease take rest for one or two days, and then you can start your practice.

But for now, kindly rest and do some hot oil massage to your leg.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Archana
