Should I See A Doctor For Swelling On Ankle Due To Fall Along With Being On Advil?
thank you for being here to help. Running trails today...coming down a hill I stepped on a rock and rolled my ankle and fell. sat for 3 min thinking it was broke ...when pain subsided I got up and waled a 1/2 mile back to my car. once home took off my shoe and had golf ball size swelling locally at the bone on side of foot. icing now, took advil and have it elevated. should i see a doctor
Hello there! trauma irrespective of the damage extent needs evaluation or at least a simple radiograph. once the fractures ruled out all it would need that which you already started. so seek help visit ER and have a radiograph. lets hope it turns out innocuous. S Khan
