Question: Hi , i injured my ankle in a squashing accident at gym ( falling of cross trainer and then my foot was squashed between paddle and the body machine! ). so it had all the symptoms like fracture , went dr , did Xray wasnt any fracture and then 2 days later went to physio got it a severe sprained ankle so i did RICE for the first 2 weeks i was completely bed rest with alittle mobility now i m in week 4 , all the symptoms get really really better now i m doing all of my stretching and balancing exercises but i still have swealling and a achy pain just like discomfort sensation in it . i ve just wondering if this swealling is normal ? and what can i do for it ? its quite firm and around my ankle but mainly on the front side of foot and i m going to start working from next week which means start of my 5th week of healing, i m really concerned if working can affect it ? and i m an active person doing dancing and exercising a lot so i dont want to get second injury by not healing this injury well .. i m waiting for your response
