Suggest Treatment For Severe Ankle Sprain

I m 23 and have always had irregular periods, any where between 35 to almost 50 days between cycles. Usually only lasting 5-6 days, but this time my period started April 23rd and I am still experiencing some spotting when I wipe. Not enough to ware a pad but I have been wearing a liner. What would the reason be for it lasting 8 days?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
You are asking for two different symptoms, ankle sprain and menstrual abnormality.
Treatment for both of them are different.
For ankle sprain, first get done x ray to rule rule out fracture. If there is no fracture then avoid weight bearing, take proper rest. Keep that ankle slightly elevated when you are in bed. Apply warm water pad on affected ankleankle. Take painkiller and anti inflammatory drugs. Wear crap bandage also.
For menstrual abnormality, possibility of hormonal imbalance is more. So consult gynecologist and get done clinical examination and hormone levels.
You might need hormone pills for regulation of menses.
So consult gynecologist and orthopedic doctor and discuss all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
