Suggest Treatment For Swelling In Ankle Due To Ligament Overstretch

Hi, I am suffering from an overstretched ligament. The Xrays are ok and have confirmed just a ligament overstretch. But the swelling in the ankle is still present even after 3 weeks. Shall I go for ayurveda from Kottakkal? What are the ways to reduce the swelling?

Hi,

You may be suffering from ankle sprain. improper immobilization during initial period may lead to delayed ligament healing and swelling and pain continues. treatment from now will be limb elevation on two pillows. use ankle binder during walking. Tab chymoral forte thrice a day for reducing swelling helps.

If not relieved MRI of the ankle to assess ligament injury should be done. Visit to orthopedic surgeon for detailed clinical examination is needed.

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

Regards,
