What's the deal with my ankle?
)
July 29th, 2015
About three months ago, I descended a ladder and missed the last step or two, landing improperly on the left foot. The pain in the ankle was minimal.
A week later, I noticed that it was swollen to the size of half a tennis ball. Based upon internet research, it is nothing more than a minor sprain. Time, elevation, icing it down and an ankle wrap has reduced the swelling, but not back to normal. Nor has the dull ache gone away completely.
While walking on uneven ground a few days ago, there was a sharper pain and the swelling increased.
For those of you who have experienced a sprained ankle, is there something that I should or should not be doing? Maybe I should be walking more? Will the swelling ever go away?
