Any Suggestion For Swollen Ankle?

Yesterday I hit my outside bone ankle on the coffee table and it was horribly painful. it was a little less painful the rest of the evening. Today it s all red on the area,hot. and swollen. Strangly, it doesn t hurt much when I walk on it. Should I get an x-ray or go to my podiatrist?

You may need x ray or MRI of ankle and foot which can be advised after clinical examination consult your doctor and do required investigation.
Till time take medication like analgesic and apply crepe bandage over foot or use supportive splint.

Some nutrients which are important for recovery after injury include vitamin C, folic acid, calcium, vitamin D, VIT B12.so supplements of these nutrients will lead to early recovery.
