I Sprained My Ankle And It Is Paining

I sprained my ankle about 3 weeks ago, and i couldn t walk for 3 days. i started playing sports again 3 days ago and the pain is minimal or even gone, but my ankle is still swollen from the side and it hurts a bit when i press on it. is this just excess water or could it be something else. when i walk now i feel no pain at all.

HI
Welcome to healthcare magic
How long have you had this swelling? has it been continous since th e injury? Presense of swelling means the injury hasnt healed yet. You will have to see a orthopedician and get it examined, and do the investigations adviced.
Meanwhile try putting your feet in warm water with some salt, if there is discomfort.
Takecare.
