While bathing pour hot water over leg and ankle, apply muscle relaxant, while lying keep keg/s raised. It s always better to adopt naturals when you can. Take little turmeric powder say 1/2 tsp in hot milk/ water and drink slowly. It is tasteless, so no problem. Alternatively Haridra capsules of Himalya s pure herb series 2 bid for a week or so ( its also turmeric inside). It s natural antiinflammatory, analgesic and bacteriostatic spice. You can even apply on swelling by mixing in warm clarified butter and cover with crepe bandage. See miracle in few days. But it stains. Wear clothes accordingly. No side effects. Hope it helps you.
