Any Suggestion For Swollen, Painful And Bruised Ankle?
I sprained my ankle about a week ago. It was swollen and bruised to start with. I have been wrapping it and using an arnica cream. There is now more bruising. It doesn't hurt when I walk. But occasionally I trip, and the pain is intense. Also, when I sit or stand in one spot for more than 10 mins, my ankle/leg starts to feel wierd/tingling.

Hi, there!
Its a very short period after ankle injury to recover fully!
The swelling will be present for next 2weeks.
Use elastic bandage/compression socks and keep Your foot elevated.
The foot is farest area from heart (pump) and swollen tissue cant regenerate so fast.
I hope this helps
