Ankle problems...............?!


Question: Ankle problems................?
so....

i have sprained my ankle twice
-once last summer
-once in the begining of december

Apparently, i had an "effusion" in the joint the first time, and possibly the second.
though i never really took care of the injury like i probably should have lol

Now, my anklle is doing fine, although there is a little point of swelling above the boney part that isnt going away, and that hurts when i tap on it (really lightly too)
--------------------------------------...

SO....

I was wondering if there was something i could do to make the swelling go away,

and also if you knew why it would hurt so much from just tapping it (lightly), where walking or even jumping on it doesnt hurt very much at all.

All Help is Appreciated! :)Health Question & Answer


Answers:
The swelling's still there because the ankle isn't fully healed yet. All that you can really do for it it let it heal at it's own course. There are some electric pulse therapies and icing/heating therapies that can help speed up the process a little bit.Health Question & Answer
