Sprained Ankle. Having Swelling And Pain. Any Suggestion?
yes, thank you. My son sprained his ankle in high school football game last week. He initially had some swelling and pain, but that is gone. he can walk well but cant run yet. The swelling was back by the heel area and our team trainer initially thought he had a strained Achilles as well. He is much better but hoping to practice again next week and play in game on Oct 11th. He is icing, doing some PT. What else might you suggest?
Hi, You are doing proper ice packing and moderate PT. Continue with all these. Give rest to the part till next week preparing for play. Ok and take care.
