How To Treat A Swollen Ankle?
I hit my ankle with an outside chair, it hit my ankle bone. I swelled badly, but I iced it. It is 2 weeks now and i have bruising on both sides of ankle, and the part I hit is sore to the touch. I am an avid walker, and am trying to do less, and ice after I walk. I have full range of motion, and can walk with no problem. What could I have done?

Hello,
As this will be a bony hurt on the malleolus. Do hot water fermentation and use crepe bandage. This should help provide stability to the muscle and joint. Simple ankle stabilization exercises post this should help.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
