Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have swollen ankles due to injury . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like soft tissue injury like ligament teat , tendon injury or bone fracture . Inflammation after severe injury make ankle swollen sometimes numbness also occur . I would suggest you to continue taking ibuprofen , apply ice pack for 48 hours and after that warm compresses . Consult orthopedic surgeon for proper diagnosis . Doctor may order x-ray , CT scan , or physical examination . Doctor may give plaster for fracture or give bandage to immobilize ankle joint in case of soft tissue injury . Doctor may prescribe muscle relaxant along with aanti inflammatory and multivitamin supplement for quick recovery .


Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
