Suggest Remedy For Severe Pain In The Ankle With Swelling

Hi, I have had severe ankle pain in my right leg for last several days with some swelling and hurts to walk especially on the heel. I do have some veracose veins but my regular doctor has seen this and doesn t seem to be a issue. I also feel some of the same symptoms on my left leg but not as bad. When I lay down to sleep and then get up in the morning the first few steps are very painful and then after I stand for awhile it is somewhat better. What do you suggest please.

It is a clear case of arthritis of heel and/ or Calcaneal spur - a cartilagenous spur on heel bone

Nothing better than a foot exercise is responsible to manage it over some time. Support of antiinflammatory and analgesic drugs is compulsory but pl do not make it a habit.

Optionally my own patients get benefit of turmeric powder 1/2 tsp in warm milk drink and its natural antiinflammatory and analgesic effects give sustained relief to them.

These steps will benefit you too without side effects.
